“We were always there for each other.”
Hina Khawaja Bayat, celebrated for her multifaceted talents and grace, has long been an inspiration to many.
She has consistently shared her life experiences openly, offering guidance and support to others facing similar challenges.
Recently, she faced the tragic loss of her husband, Roger Daud Bayat.
With remarkable strength, she demonstrated resilience in the face of adversity.
In the wake of her husband’s passing, rather than succumbing to grief, she chose to channel her energies towards humanitarian efforts.
She extended assistance to earthquake victims in Syria and Turkey.
Her unwavering commitment to helping those in need stands as a testament to her compassionate nature and indomitable spirit.
However, despite her contributions and exemplary resilience, Hina has not been immune to societal scrutiny.
In a culture where adherence to conventional norms often reigns supreme, her journey has sometimes elicited questions.
Particularly, her decision not to have children has raised eyebrows in Pakistani society.
During an appearance on Maliha Rehman’s show, Hina Bayat addressed this topic with her characteristic candour.
Maliha asked her: “Do you miss the fact that you don’t have children?”
Hina acknowledged that she and her late husband had harboured dreams of parenthood.
However, they accepted that it was not meant to be according to the divine plan.
Despite this, their bond remained strong, and they found fulfilment in each other’s company.
She said: “We were always there for each other.”
Reflecting on the societal expectations surrounding motherhood, Hina Bayat acknowledged that she might have garnered more support had she chosen a different path.
Yet, she remained resolute in her gratitude towards Allah for everything she had:
“On the flip side, I have been spared from the pressures and responsibilities that parenthood entails.”
She recognised that while children may alleviate some aspects of loneliness, they would also introduce additional challenges.
In place of biological children, she revealed the deep bond she shares with individuals like Madiha Imam and Osman Khalid Butt.
She considers them akin to her offspring. This chosen family brings her solace and companionship, enriching her life in unexpected ways.
