Jemima remarked ahead of the premiere of her rom-com film, What’s Love Got to Do With It? that she now wished her marriage had been arranged. She ties it to her new film, which will be released in theaters on February 24.
The 49-year-old said ‘moral certainty’ was paramount for her when she married the PTI chief at the age of 21. She however said she believed it would be best for her to have had an arranged marriage.
Jemima’s upcoming movie starring Sajal Aly is about marriage, but the filmmaker is not going to get hitched anytime soon, she revealed, saying, “I am not against it,” but called it a “high investment, low yield” relationship.
Jemima’s latest project, What’s Love Got To Do With It?, was inspired by her time in the South Asian country when she shifted to Pakistan and its plot revolves around current trends of dating and arranged marriages.
Earlier, Jemima said Pakistan was in her soul and her children’s country, saying it was like growing up here.
