A Long Journey to Forgiveness

Jia Ali opened up about her parents’ troubled marriage, which eventually ended in divorce. She witnessed violence in their relationship, an experience that left deep emotional scars. Although her mother consistently encouraged her to maintain a relationship with her father, Ali admitted it took her 30 years to truly forgive him and normalize their bond. “I didn’t easily forgive people back then,” she confessed, highlighting how this personal trait prolonged her healing process.

Selective About Her Craft

The actress also shared why she rarely appears in Pakistani dramas or films – including her own work. She criticized the industry’s repetitive storytelling, particularly the overuse of saas-bahu (mother-in-law/daughter-in-law) conflicts. This creative dissatisfaction has led her to be highly selective about roles, as she finds it emotionally taxing to detach from certain characters.

Embracing a Chemical-Free Lifestyle

In a surprising revelation, Jia Ali discussed her commitment to natural living. She cooks exclusively in clay pots using wooden utensils and cleans them with soda and lemon to avoid chemical contamination. This philosophy extends to all aspects of her life as she consciously eliminates artificial elements from her daily routine.
