What do you think of Rukhsar Rehman?

Rukhsar's character of Madeeha is a strict mother. In real life, Rukhsar has a daughter too. "As a parent, I have always believed that parents should strike a balance with their children. Be strict but be equally calm and friendly with them. Extreme behavior in either scenario can either lead to the children becoming a rebel or receding into a shell. Hence, a balance is necessary," said Rukhsar.
