Shamoon Abbasi may be a well-known actor, director, and producer, but like the rest of us, he is not immune to heartache caused by family members.
The actor recently appeared on Alief TV’s show ‘Meri Maa’. During the episode, he opened up about his challenging relationship with his mother, citing her strict nature as the reason for the distance between them. He also discussed his relationship with his father on the show.
“My mother began to grow distant and stopped communicating with me after her separation. I deeply missed her presence. She was a hardworking and capable businesswoman who knew how to expand her business. She was also a well-dressed woman who eventually remarried, only to separate again. During this time, I would tell my mom, ‘Not everyone in your life can be wrong. You need to relax and take it easy. You’re getting older, and it’s time to find peace.’ My priorities have shifted over time, and now that I’m a grown man, I’m willing to do anything for you, but you need to calm down first. You’re always angry with me, blaming me for someone else’s actions.”
Talking about, his mother’s reaction on his father’s death, Shamoon said, “I didn’t cry on my father’s death, in fact, I received my mother’s call after my father’s death. She said, ‘Today, I have become a widow’. I got so upset and I cried a lot because she never forgot my father in her life, even after moving on.”
Shamoon recounted the final moments of his mother: “I wasn’t able to see her before she passed away because she didn’t let me know about her condition. I received a call informing me of her death. Although a family was taking care of her, they hadn’t seen her for two days, and she passed away during that time. It’s one of my life’s greatest regrets that no one saw her for two days after she died.”
He further said, “I was actually upset with my mother. I had heard she had blood cancer, so I stayed with her and took care of her during her illness. However, after she recovered, she started arguing with me, which upset me, and I stopped visiting her.”
