"But when a person is gone, you forgive them.”
On a recent episode of Wasi Shah’s show, Mathira shared her detailed account of being deported from Zimbabwe.
Recounting a chapter of profound hardship, Mathira delved into the painful account amidst political turmoil.
She claimed that the distressing event not only stripped her of her possessions but also inflicted a profound toll on her mental well-being.
Central to Mathira’s narrative was her relationship with her father.
This complex dynamic shaped her upbringing and sense of self.
Born to a Zimbabwean father and a Pakistani mother, she found herself uprooted from her homeland at the tender age of 14.
Mathira was compelled to relocate to Pakistan in the midst of familial and societal upheaval.
She revealed: “In Zimbabwe, we were very well off, but due to political tensions we were sent here. Mom was divorced so we came to Pakistan with her.”
During this tumultuous period of transition, her father’s absence loomed large, their interactions fleeting and distressing.
Their final exchange before his untimely passing was three years ago.
“I have a lot of complaints to my father. But when a person is gone, you forgive them.”
The void left by the lack of paternal presence during her formative years reverberated through Mathira’s life.
Mathira is a beloved host and entertainer with a career spanning nearly two decades.
She stands out not only for her charisma and talent but also for her unapologetic honesty and fearless expression of opinions.
As a single mother raising three sons, she embodies strength, resilience, and a commitment to instilling valuable life lessons in her children.
Previously, she opened up about her sons’ upbringing.
Mathira highlighted the significance of giving space to children while also guiding them through challenges.
She emphasised the need to train children effectively, steering them towards a path of diligence and accountability.
Rather than resorting to taunts or admonishments, Mathira opts for a hands-on approach, ensuring that her sons grasp the value of hard-earned money.
