Pakistani actress Mahira Khan has highlighted the importance of treating pregnant women with kindness, respect and support, saying that a woman never forgets how she is treated during pregnancy and after childbirth.
In a message shared on Instagram, the actress indirectly addressed people who behave inappropriately towards women during pregnancy and the postnatal period.
Mahira emphasised that pregnancy and childbirth are among the most sensitive phases of a woman’s life, when she needs love, understanding, respect and emotional support from those around her.
The actress is currently experiencing a joyful phase in her personal life as she awaits the arrival of her second child. She already has a son, Azlan, from her previous marriage, while the expected baby will be her first child with her husband, Salim Karim.
Following her pregnancy announcement at the age of 41, Mahira also faced criticism on social media. However, she chose to focus on the love, prayers and good wishes she received from her fans rather than the negative comments.
Her message has once again drawn attention to the importance of supporting women during pregnancy and after childbirth, reminding families and society that kindness during this sensitive period can leave a lasting impression.
