In an interview with Madeha Naqvi on Monday, Mansha Pasha opened up about her toughest moments in life. Having been married twice, she admitted that her first marriage wasn't the smoothest experience. "My first marriage was a tough period for me, and so were my college days. There are certain periods in life that make you doubt your decisions and fill you with uncertainty about the future. But you know you must bear through this time," she observed.
"It's only when you look back later on that you understand just how important it was to brave the difficult situation you were once in. Certain experiences, good and bad, build character and are essential for your growth," the Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida actor added.
She then recalled her father's death and the events surrounding it. "He had cancer, and there was a lot happening. My mother had a heart attack shortly afterwards. It was all very tough," she said.
Mansha faced an overwhelming set of difficulties between 2014 and 2015. "I think everyone goes through a time when everything seems to be happening all at once. For me, that was from September 2014 to the end of 2015. I was working, I was married (to my first husband), and my father was still alive."
She remembers her father as a tall and imposing man due to his stature. "We always viewed him as a booming figure because he was a huge man and even his voice would startle people," she said, agreeing that it hurt more to reminisce about someone who always appeared strong to her yet is no longer in her life.
Presently Mansha, who is now happily married to activist and lawyer Mohammad Jibran Nasir, knows how to protect her peace by not engaging with social media more than she deems necessary.
"I only watch the reels my husband and friends send me. I try not to get caught up in someone else's business and even my own because I feel like everything has become too toxic. No matter what you do, you'd be criticised, so why let my blood boil over it?" she said.
Mansha married Jibran in 2021, about three years after divorcing her first husband Asad Farooqi. "When I first met Jibran, I knew he was the right fit for me," gushed the Zindagi Gulzar Hai actor in a September appearance on Mazaq Raat. "He has shown in so many ways that he is caring. He doesn't focus on the fault. He focuses on how it can be fixed."
