Actor and educator Tazeen Hussain recently appeared on Good Morning Pakistan where she talked about her special bond with her father, the famous Talat Hussain. Tazeen shared heartfelt stories about her father’s role in their family and gave updates on his health, remembering his kind nature. She said that she and her siblings often found comfort in being around their father.
Talking about her father’s significant influence, Tazeen highlighted his cultured upbringing and his dedication to teaching valuable lessons to his children. She said, “My dad was artistic and open-minded, like most artists are. He never stopped us from doing what we wanted. We were scared of Mom, not Dad. He never scolded us. He took care of us when we were hurt. He would kindly give us medicine even when we didn’t want to take it.” Tazeen continued, “We received a lot of love from Dad.” She also mentioned, “With my father, I grew up as a girl and as a woman. There was never any distinction between boys and girls in our house. We were all treated equally. My father always respected women.”
However, among the happy memories, Tazeen talked about her father’s current health problems. “He’s getting older now,” Tazeen began. “With age come a few illnesses. Dad has dementia, your memory starts to decline.” Although he still knows who she is, Tazeen shared, “He recognizes us, so it’s not too bad. Some days are slower, and remembering people is a bit harder. But on other days, he can recognize them. Some days, he doesn’t want too much mental activity. But otherwise, he walks around, wants to go for a drive, eats, and drinks, thank God.”
The veteran actor got a chest infection, which made his health worse and he had to go to the hospital. “Recently, he got really sick,” she said. “He had a chest infection, so he had to stay in the hospital. But thanks to all the prayers from his fans and well-wishers, it was like a miracle. He came back home from the hospital, walking on his own feet.”
Even though the icon is still dealing with health issues, Tazeen wants fans to know he’s doing okay for now. She admitted that sometimes he has slower days, but his strength and determination keep everyone hopeful and positive.
