My mother has taught me to have faith no matter what: Mahira Khan

Actor paid tribute to her mother with a special post on her birthday

Popular actor Mahira Khan recently celebrated her mother’s birthday and posted an old image of her on Instagram to mark the special occasion.

The sweet tribute hinted at the inspiring personality of the woman who brought up the Superstar actor, while revealing where she got those hazelnut eyes from.

“Last night, at midnight we cut Ama’s cake. It was just the four of us (make it three, Aba couldn’t keep his eyes open). And as we sang for her, Ama sang the loudest for herself – ‘May I have many more, may I have many more dear. Happy birthday to me’,” Khan captioned the image.

“That basically sums her up,” she added, revealing how her mother found joy in the simplest of things. “‘Tender mercies’ she calls them! She has taught me a lot, most of the time unknowingly.. but the most important thing I’ve learnt from her is to be hopeful and to have faith no matter what,” she continued.

Last night, at midnight we cut Ama’s cake. It was just the four of us ( make it three, Aba couldn’t keep his eyes open). And as we sang for her, Ama sang the loudest for herself - ‘May I have many more, may I have many more dear. Happy birthday to me’. That basically sums her up. She finds joy in the smallest of things. ‘Tender mercies’ as she calls them! She has taught me a lot, most of the time unknowingly.. but the most important thing I’ve learnt from her is to be hopeful, to have faith no matter what. She always says - ‘Na umeed nahi hotay! Imaan hai toh mayoosi kaisi?’ To the most beautiful woman in the world, Happy Birthday 🕊♥️🧿🤍 P.S In this photo, Ama is pregnant with me 👶🏼

The actor then shared another important lesson her mother taught her, “She always says: Na umeed nahi hotay! Imaan hai toh mayoosi kaisi? (Never lose hope, when you have faith then what’s the point of hopelessness?)”

“To the most beautiful woman in the world,” she concluded, “Happy Birthday! P.S. In this photo, Ama is pregnant with me,” revealed the Humsafar star.
