For any woman with a career, motherhood is the ultimate fork in the road where a decision has to be made: to continue with work undeterred, or to take a step back to raise a child. Sadia Imam, a regular on television in the 2000s, chose the latter, and appeared on Pyara Mehman<\/em> with nine-year-old daughter Meerab to chat with host Farhan Ali Waris about her time away from the screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cRaising Meerab is the biggest responsibility of my life,\u201d stated the Hum Se Juda Na Hona star<\/em>, who had always longed for a daughter. With a string of television and morning shows already behind her, Sadia stressed, \u201cI now want to give her the proper time she deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having fully embraced her role as a parent, the down-to-earth soft-spoken mother of one discussed in flawless Urdu how she has absorbed the lessons her own parents taught her to ensure her daughter will grow up with fond memories of a happy, healthy, safe childhood.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have a degree,\u201d she said unabashedly and unapologetically. \u201cI have never tried to hide it. I don\u2019t have a master\u2019s or a PhD. The biggest degree I have is my own upbringing,\u00a0but whatever I have learned and whatever manners or lessons I teach Meerab have come from our own families and cultures and traditions. It is our responsibility to transfer whatever we know to our children.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

A tradition from husband Adnan Haider\u2019s family has been to learn and recite naats, and here, daughter Meerab showed how she has inherited her father\u2019s genes by reciting a naat in a voice as clear as a bell, evoking tears from her awestruck mother next to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI myself don\u2019t have a voice for singing,\u201d said the proud mother. \u201cThis is something Meerab has inherited from her father\u2019s side of the family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Slowly, Sadia has encouraged Meerab to start fasting, a challenge the youngster has accepted with relish. Over the coming years, with Sadia focused solely on providing the best upbringing possible for her daughter, Meerab can move forward secure with the knowledge that her childhood will have been a place of nothing but the deepest love.<\/p>\n
