Actor Syra Yousuf has spoken about her experience of motherhood, divorce and the media. The star from Sinf-e-Aahan has a seven-year-old daughter Nooreh with her former partner Shahroz Sabzwari.
Syra revealed that she felt uncomfortable about the media sensationalism around her personal life, at the time when she was going through the process of separation from her former partner.
“I don’t feel betrayed because I didn’t expect much. But I do find it very insensitive because where you are recycling a story and making connections again and again for the sake of likes and numbers, it’s very important for you to understand that someone else is actually living through what you are constantly talking about.”
Describing the coverage of her life as “bombardment,” the star added:
“I feel like it was insensitive. Personal lives should stay personal, and if you do end up finding something out from some source, there’s a way to put it out there.”
Speaking about the coverage of her life, she said:
“I felt very exposed. I just kept wondering when people would stop talking about it so that I could process it on my own.”
The actor explained that she managed to get through this situation by shutting off external discussions and turning inwards. She added:
“So, sometimes uncomfortable situations can actually help you end up in a better place.”
Syra spoke at length about her experience of motherhood.
“I used to be selective about my work, but once you become a mother you can’t stop thinking about your child and what makes them comfortable or uncomfortable. So, I used to think about the dynamics of different projects a lot. How much time I would get with Nooreh, how it would affect her.”
She said that her former partner is involved in caregiving for their child Nooreh.
"Shahroz and I, we make sure that we co-parent Nooreh so the other parent is never absent. He is very much involved, his parents, Nooreh's grandparents are very much involved,"
