Family supported me in ending first marriage'

In an interview with Ahmad Ali Butt, actor Dania Enwer shared how instrumental her family's support was in helping her move on from her first marriage. "I have a lot of support from my family, and I think I'm privileged that way — not everyone is. When you have that kind of support, it doesn't matter to you what anyone else is saying," she said.

Dania added, "My mother is a very empowering woman. For the longest time I didn't tell my parents that I was having problems with my marriage because you try to spare your parents the pain and work things out on your own."

The Radd actor stressed that she doesn't talk about her problems unless she needs a solution. "So when I was ready, I called my mom one day and said, 'Things are not great, and I've tried my best. But now I'm on the verge where the marriage must end or it will end me.'"

Dania recalled that her mother's response was unexpectedly composed. "My mom said, 'Dania, everything has a solution. I know that you have tried everything. If it's not working out, that's fine. There are other solutions as well, so just relax.' That's where the process started until I separated [from my ex-husband] with my mother by my side."

The Jaan Nisar actor mentioned that after the divorce, it was her mother who suggested that she venture out into acting. Crediting her family's support as the catalyst for her emancipation, Dania noted, "Neither did my parents impose restrictions on me, nor did they put the pressure of a second marriage on me. They encouraged me to resume my life."

After overcoming her struggles, the actor went on a sabbatical. Through her healing process, her two children kept her grounded and were the source of her motivation. "My son was very young at the time. My daughter was, too. But such a situation makes any child more mature than they are," she lamented.

Dania admitted that the process wasn't easy, and that she worked hard to bounce back. "It's not that I didn't have PTSD. But I identified my problems and worked on them," she pointed out. "Human beings always make mistakes. What's important is how we learn to move on from them. My saving grace was the fact that this chapter was finally over."

Dania is now married to Farhan Baig, son of the renowned veteran actor Nadeem Baig.
