Mahira continued to write about her good memories of growing up in the joint family in her Dada's home. "All of us together. Even those who didn’t live with us were always around. I have two Phopos and God you all can’t imagine what they are like. They are beautiful, funny, kind and strong women," she said.

"My older Phopo (Surraiya), looked after her parents along with my father like they were her babies. The woman who works for her eats with her on their table... I have never seen that anywhere."

"I feel like we are who we are because of all these relationships and people we have grown up with. There is so much of my Dadi Dada in them and there is so much of them in me. I thank God every day for them and my Chachas (I have 2, but that’s for another day)."

At the start of April, Mahira announced she will be donating to Prime Minister Imran Khan's COVID-19 relief fund, which is being set up to help out those most in need.
