<p>The <strong>Crazy Rich Asians</strong> actress is set to star in <strong>I Am Hannah</strong>, which is about being childless in your 30s. She admits she only knows too well from her friends what it is like to feel the pressure to start a family.</p>

<p>Relating to her character in <strong>I Am Hannah</strong>, she told BBC News, “I think it's interesting that women do get asked a lot about what their plans are — are they going to have kids, do they plan to get pregnant — perhaps more so than men get asked.”</p>

<p>She said previously: “I think it's crazy how getting pregnant is drilled into you as the worst thing that could happen to you when you're a teenager or in your early 20s. Then suddenly when you got your mid-30s, the message is that you're running out of time.</p>

<p>“You essentially have a few years where you're supposed to meet the right person, settle down and start a family. I think that can be quite unrealistic.”</p>
