Pakistani heartthrob Muneeb Butt has appeared as a guest on Nida Yasir’s Ramazan show, where he opened up about his decision to tie the knot at a young age.

During the candid conversation with the host, Muneeb Butt discussed his decision to marry early instead of waiting to achieve financial stability.

He emphasized the importance of marriage in bringing stability to one's life and the way it saves one’s from the allure of fame, especially in the entertainment industry, where people can easily get distracted.

Here are the exact words of Muneeb:

“Very often we see in our society that families proceed with engagement but wait for Nikkah because the boy isn't financially established,I say that Nikkah is such a good deed, and I have a firm belief that if you enter Nikkah today, God will open new paths of success for you."

He further highlighted his belief that entering into marriage doesn't impede progress but actually opens doors to success.

"I strongly believe that it's not possible that you'll be led to your downfall after Nikkah or that you will keep struggling because you have not done anything wrong," he asserted. "You have done a good deed, so you will see the blessings in your life if you keep a positive approach."

The ‘Daldal’ delved into his own journey, explaining that his choice to wed early was influenced by recognizing the trials brought about by fame and triumph in the showbiz sector. Reflecting on the struggles encountered by numerous individuals in the entertainment world who yield to the allure of stardom, Butt stressed the significance of building a secure family foundation to stay grounded amid such temptations.

"Because at that time, I was becoming more successful, and I was able to realize that we are merely humans, and Satan will tempt me towards the wrong path," he confessed.There is a big chance that you will be led astray. There are a lot of examples within our industry of people who were blessed by a lot of fame and success at an early age, but they could not handle it,So I realised right then that it's better that I settle down and start a family life, so even if I am tempted to do wrong, my mind has better things to think about.”

He also spoke about how he had to fight his in-laws a bit when he was marrying Aiman. He said that his proposal was easily accepted, but Aiman’s parents wanted to wait as she had not even turned 18. Aiman’s mother was concerned about how she will manage the whole household at such a young age. Muneeb and his family assuaged their fears then.
