This celebrity couple makes sure to speak only Urdu at home

Celebrity couple Iqra Aziz and Yasir Hussain have revealed that they made sure their son Kabir Hussain learned Urdu as his first language instead of English.

While appearing on a Ramzan special TV show, the couple shared how they prioritized Urdu at home to ensure their son speaks the language fluently, even though many parents focus on teaching English to their kids.

"He goes to an English medium school, so he has learned English from his teachers and classmates," Iqra explained. "But at home, we only speak Urdu."

Yasir added, "We make sure to communicate in Urdu at home." He recalled an incident on set when an actor suggested teaching Kabir English instead of Urdu. "But I thought he must be fluent in Urdu first. English can be learned later. I see many people around me who can't speak Urdu fluently, which I think is wrong."

She stressed, "Urdu is the basic language and must be learned well. Other languages are secondary."

Yasir and Iqra, who got married in 2019 after a public proposal at an awards ceremony, welcomed their son Kabir in 2021.
