Pakistani actress and writer Mira Sethi has shared a deeply personal reflection on her relationship with her parents, revealing how years of honest conversations and understanding helped rebuild emotional connections within her family.
During her appearance on Excuse Me with Ahmad Ali Butt, Mira spoke candidly about growing up as the daughter of renowned journalists Najam Sethi and Jugnu Mohsin. She explained that while her parents always supported her and provided opportunities, their demanding professional lives left limited space for emotional bonding during her childhood.
Mira revealed that her relationship with her parents became significantly closer during the last five years after life circumstances brought them together again. She said that moving back to her parents’ home allowed them to create a stronger emotional connection and understand each other on a deeper level.
The actress shared that her parents’ dedication, confidence, and resilience played an important role in shaping her and her brother Ali’s personalities. However, she noted that emotional closeness developed later in life when they were able to communicate more openly and spend meaningful time together.
Reflecting on her personal growth, Mira explained that learning about childhood psychology helped her understand how early experiences can influence emotional health and relationships. This awareness encouraged her to have honest discussions with her parents about feelings and experiences from her younger years.
She revealed that those conversations became a source of healing for the entire family. Mira shared that her father acknowledged her feelings and apologized, saying, “I’m really sorry. I was too busy. Your mother and I led very hectic lives.” She added that her mother also expressed regret and a desire to make up for the time they had missed together.
Mira emphasized that she no longer carries resentment toward her parents. Instead, she views their past struggles through a lens of understanding, recognizing that they were balancing demanding careers while managing family responsibilities.
The actress said that healing became possible when both generations were willing to listen, acknowledge emotions, and communicate honestly. Her experience highlights the importance of emotional conversations within families and the impact of accepting past challenges with compassion.
