Family dynamics can change a lot after losing loved ones, and Yasir Hussain is no exception to the rule.
The actor has recently talked about the passing of his parents reshaping his perspective on relationships and responsibilities.
Appearing as a guest on Meri Maa, hosted by Noor Ul Hassan, Yasir opened up about the lasting impact of his parents on his life.
The host asked, “Why do we have so much bitterness towards our loved ones here?”
Yasir replied, “I don’t know, but I feel that in our environment, the kind of atmosphere we have, there are many financial struggles and issues. The majority of people are dealing with financial problems. So, as you grow up, your primary concern isn’t about loving your people; it becomes about taking care of them, providing for them. When you enter that mindset of being a provider, you naturally become a bit stricter and more burdened, and that affection can decrease.”
Hussain fondly recalls his father’s approach to parenting, emphasizing a warmth that was always present, saying, “He was the kind of father who would hug and kiss you in the morning, showing love, because he wasn’t caught up in those issues. I believe the relationship he had was unparalleled, he understood that nobody ever starved. That was a remarkable thing.”
The host again asked, “You once mentioned that your mother gave you some advice that included traveling the world. Could you share what her guidance was for you?”
The Taxali Gate actor said, “Yes, my mother told me to get married, but first, travel the world. I didn’t quite understand what she meant by that. She told me to explore before settling down, and then she left for Rawalpindi. Eventually, I realized that traveling the world was crucial, especially since my education wasn’t extensive. I had tried to complete my degree but didn’t succeed. My mother knew that I was earning and working, so she understood that I might not continue my studies. People often say that traveling broadens your exposure, and I found that to be true. Traveling has greatly helped me in writing, acting, and directing. It’s not just about reading books; it’s about meeting people and experiencing life.”
“My mother had a unique way of treating all the children equally, ensuring balance among us. Parents have a special understanding of these dynamics, which is why, after their passing, the first feeling is that the bond they created has shattered. They maintained a certain attitude and exchange of love that kept everyone united. When they are gone, and the harmony is lost, you realize how important that connection was.”
