Meera is one sad girl these days. The Pak lass hasn't seen a hit in a long time now and her initial Indian
euphoria is soon fizzling out as well. To make the matters worse her family has started to press her for
marriage now.
Talking about her ordeal Meera says, "My family keeps asking me, when are you getting married? My
father, brothers, mother, grandmother, sisters all keep pursuing the same topic. My grandmother wants
to see me married, she says I'm getting too old for marriage."
Meera also reveals that her family has some serious issues with her frequent globetrotting too.
"My parents have a problem with my globetrotting. They term it as my awaragardi. Since I keep
travelling to India, UK, Dubai and other countries, they think I lead a bohemian lifestyle," tells
Meera.
But isn't every actress has to go through the similar hassles? What makes Meera's folks so
insecure?
"They are extremely weary about her Bollywood sojourn," reveals a close family friend. "They fear that
she might fall for a Hindu guy which may be completely unacceptable to thier conservative
family."
Ask Meera how she copes up with the entire family drama and she tells, "After listening to them for a
couple of minutes, when the pressure mounts, I just smile and retire to my room and sleep. At times, I
meditate to overcome the stress."
