In a touching message to fans and critics alike, celebrated actress Bushra Ansari has come forward to defend the late Ayesha Khan’s children, saying people have got it all wrong.
Speaking through an Instagram video, Bushra said she’s heartbroken over Ayesha’s sudden death but can’t stand to see people accusing her kids of abandoning her.
Ayesha Khan, a beloved actress, was found dead in her Karachi home on June 20. Police reports say her body might have been there for about a week, which shocked many and led to an outpouring of anger towards her children online.
But Bushra says that’s unfair. She shared that Ayesha had once told her that her kids always begged her to live with them abroad, but she refused. She liked her life in Karachi, surrounded by old friends and her comfort zone.
Bushra recalled Ayesha saying her kids always made sure she had money and whatever else she needed. They would even stuff cash into her drawers before leaving! She also had household help to take care of daily chores.
Bushra believes people should stop jumping to conclusions. She admits maybe the kids didn’t talk to their mother for a couple of days because they were busy, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t care.
She ended her video asking everyone to stop throwing around harsh accusations and to pray for Ayesha instead. Still, some followers didn’t agree, wondering why neither family nor friends checked up on her sooner.
