He wants me to quit acting and become a full housewife. But I am not that type who sits at home all day. I love working; I love being busy. He said when we get married, I will quit acting. I have known him for two years and we have dated for a year.

    “I don’t want to disclose his identity. All I can say is that his name is Mr. M.  He is a good guy, but he can stab you when he gets jealous; he is so possessive. He knows who I am. Why wouldn’t he know? He had seen me on television before we eventually met.  He has been following my movies. He is not in support of my career. He wants me to quit after marriage. He doesn’t want me out because he doesn’t like my involvement in love scenes. He doesn’t want people to be looking at me and me exposing myself because of romantic scenes. Of course, I have marriage in mind.  But I am not in a hurry to walk down the aisle.”
