Pakistani drama actress Yashma Gill has revealed that her father stopped speaking to her for nearly a year after she decided to join the showbiz industry.
The actor shared that her father was strongly against her career choice because of the general perception surrounding the entertainment industry.
Yashma Gill began her career after returning to Pakistan from Australia, where she had completed her education. She said she had always been interested in the world of acting, which is why she chose showbiz as her professional path. Over the years, she has built a strong position in Pakistan’s drama industry.
Recently, she appeared as a guest on a private TV channel’s Ramadan transmission. During the show, she spoke openly about the early challenges she faced in her personal life after entering the entertainment field.
According to the actor, her father was upset when she started acting and avoided speaking to her for almost a year. However, things began to change during the holy month of Ramadan when she greeted him and he responded, breaking the silence between them.
Later, when Yashma planned to perform Umrah, she needed a mahram for the journey. She asked her father to accompany her, and he agreed to travel with her for the pilgrimage.
During the trip, her father saw the respect and appreciation people showed toward his daughter because of her work. As a result, his perspective gradually changed. He began to feel that his daughter might be on the right path.
Following that experience, their relationship improved significantly, and they grew closer again.
Yashma Gill’s heartfelt story has also gained attention on social media, where fans are appreciating the emotional reconciliation between the actress and her father.
