Mira Sethi’s divorce story grabs attention

Pakistani actress, writer, and host Mira Sethi has opened up about her marriage, divorce, and the personal lessons she gained from the experience.

The actor recently appeared on Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast Excuse Me, where she spoke candidly about her journey and shared how the experience helped her grow emotionally and personally.

Mira Sethi said one of the biggest lessons she learned from her divorce was the importance of staying true to herself. She advised people not to ignore their instincts or change their personality to please others.

She explained that trying to adjust oneself for a partner, friends, or anyone else can have a negative impact. According to her, maintaining one’s identity is essential in any relationship.

Reflecting on her marriage decision, Mira said she entered the relationship based on affection and idealism. She added that she did not face societal pressure to get married and made the decision independently.

Mira acknowledged that the experience brought challenges but also helped her become more mature. She said she was now able to look back on the chapter of her life with understanding and acceptance.

Addressing common criticism faced by women after divorce, she highlighted how society often blames women for not “adjusting” in relationships. She stressed that personal choices and circumstances vary from person to person.

Mira Sethi married Bilal Siddiqui in California in 2019 after being in a long-term relationship. The couple later parted ways, and Mira publicly shared news of their divorce last year.

Known for her performances in dramas including Kuch Ankahi, Chupke Chupke, Paristan, and Dr. Bahu, Mira Sethi continues to remain active in the entertainment industry while also pursuing her interests in writing and hosting.
