I wanted something from the old days, a deep red. Warda Salim didn’t make it too bold, which was good, but I wanted the traditional red outfit from our grandmothers’ era. I wanted it as red as possible because my walima outfit was white. His (husband’s) reaction, seen on our Instagram, was just ‘Wow.’ He said, ‘This is the most beautiful thing you wore.’

We often learn important things from our closest family members, especially when we reconnect after a long time. You also notice many positive qualities in them. Every family goes through challenges, and ours became public because of my parents’ fame. Our reunion followed a period of reconciliation. We both wanted to reconnect, and despite encountering some differences, we managed to resolve our issues last year. There was a time when I felt angry about his absence, but now I look at things differently. I try to find positivity in every situation.”
