Pakistani Social Activist Malala Yousafzai said that after smoking weed with her friends at Oxford University, she felt as if she had suddenly returned to Swat from London. However, it also brought painful memories of the Taliban attack on her.
Malala said that she thought she had forgotten everything, but as soon as she got drunk, everything came before her eyes. The school bus, the armed men, and the blood everywhere. However, after that, Malala said that her friends took her to a room where she had a terrible attack.
She vomited, while her friend Anisa forbade her from going to the hospital, saying that the effects of the drug remained in her blood. She said that following that, she couldn’t sleep all night for fear that she might not wake up alive again.
Recently, Malala Yousafzai also wrote about her private life, opening up about her early relationship with her husband, Asir Malik, in her forthcoming memoir, Finding My Way. The book is set for release on October 21st by Atria Books, details the beginning of their love story, her years at Oxford University, and her evolving views on marriage.

The Nobel Peace Prize laureate, now 28, shared a playful memory from their early courtship. From one date, she wore a conservative outfit approved by her mother, but changed into a sleeveless pink dress and heels after arriving at the restaurant. Malik’s reaction, she wrote, was one of surprise and admiration, jokingly calling her a sex bomb. Yousafzai admitted that keeping the relationship hidden from her parents was difficult.
She first confided in her father, Ziauddin, about her romantic feelings, but asked him not to tell her mother, a request she quickly ignored. Her mother initially objected, insisting Malala should marry within their Pashtun community. Despite early family tensions, the couple continued their relationship and eventually married in November 2021 in Birmingham, England.
