However, she believes that sacrificing one&#8217;s identity is ultimately unhealthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She described these as the two most significant lessons she gained from her experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting on the passage of time since her divorce, Mira said the experience helped her grow as a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I enjoyed life, learned a great deal, and became more mature. I can say this today because several years have passed since my divorce and I have moved forward with my life,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The actress also commented on societal expectations placed on women, noting that women who refuse to constantly adjust to circumstances are often unfairly criticized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She said people frequently label such women as being unable to &#8220;adjust,&#8221; even when they are simply choosing to remain true to themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Addressing the circumstances surrounding her marriage, Mira stressed that there was <strong>no social or family pressure<\/strong> for her to get married.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She explained that she married at an age later than what society typically considers ideal and that the decision was based entirely on her own beliefs and feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It was completely my own decision, motivated by idealism and love. In this matter, I cannot blame anyone except myself,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mira Sethi married <strong>Bilal Siddiqi<\/strong> in <strong>California, United States, in 2019<\/strong>. The couple announced their separation in <strong>2023<\/strong> after four years of marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through her interview, the actress highlighted the value of self-awareness, personal growth, and preserving one&#8217;s identity while navigating relationships and life&#8217;s challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KARACHI: Pakistani actress and writer Mira Sethi has spoken candidly about her marriage and divorce, saying that no one pressured her into getting married and..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5487,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-showbiz"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/437845_8130118_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/437845_8130118_updates-1-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/437845_8130118_updates-1-300x171.jpg",300,171,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/437845_8130118_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/437845_8130118_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/437845_8130118_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/437845_8130118_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/?cat=5\" rel=\"category\">Showbiz<\/a>","tag_info":"Showbiz","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5486"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5488,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5486\/revisions\/5488"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
