"I want my daughter to find a husband just like me." Imran on family values and gossipy friends

“Let my daughter find a husband just like me.” Imran on family values and gossiping friends

In an interview with the “Ayol Qalbi” program of the “Milliy” TV channel, singer Imran spoke about the difficulties he faced in his life, his attitude towards gossip, and his family values.

“People say that I came out of nowhere and became famous”

— People who don’t follow me and don’t know much about me say that I “came out of nowhere with just one hit song.” It’s natural for such talk to happen. The difficult times were not easy for us either. We went on for seven or eight years after graduating from the conservatory. From 2005 to the end of 2018, I tirelessly prepared my own songs. My father and brothers helped me with this. Because it was not easy to release even one original song as a student in Tashkent. There were times when I couldn’t find a place and ended up on the street. It’s better to know these difficulties myself. I often tell everyone that there is no point in crying about it, says the singer.

“When you encounter difficulties, you should tell your family members — your mother and wife”

— When a person encounters difficulties in life, you should tell your loved ones about the situation and at least let them know about it. Many people prefer not to tell their mothers about it. “Don’t tell your mother, you will torture her, she will suffer,” they say. Why? Everything is easy for God. After all, if your mother knows about your situation, she will pray for you even more. If you tell your wife, she will pray for you too. On the contrary, I am for telling them about it. When I face some difficulty, I want to tell my father about it. A person should always tell his loved ones about his condition and situation.

“I can’t put up with people who talk about someone else”

— One day, an incident happened. Six or seven people were sitting in a circle talking. One of our people said goodbye and left. I was watching, and the other five people started gossiping about the person who left. At first, I thought it was just a normal thing. After a while, another person left the circle. They also started discussing him. Then I told them: “Don’t be upset, I’m too embarrassed to leave now and I’m scared. If you do that, what will you do when you get together?” I can’t put up with people who talk about someone else and gossip about them. I absolutely don’t agree with such things. Who are you to gossip about someone, he says.

“I want my daughter’s husband to be like me”

— Now I also have a daughter. Tomorrow, when the time comes, I think about handing her over to someone. Similarly, my wife is someone’s daughter. Sometimes, even though it’s late, if I order my wife to do something, she does it without any problems and with a bang. I thank her for that. There is another thing, many people ask me, “Would you like a son-in-law like you for your daughter?” To this question, most people answer “no.” But I say, I do.

“It is better to show that you love your loved ones than to say it”

— A man may not be able to say “I love you” to his loved ones. I also have this habit. I try to show in practice that I love my loved ones, my family members. It's good to say, "I love you," of course. But, in my opinion, proving it in practice is much more important than words. My advice to women: if your spouse or children are interested in you and devote time to you, know that they are showing their love in practice. Understand this correctly, be grateful and agree, - says the singer.
