The actress said she considers herself fortunate to have been given the opportunity to portray a character that resonates with so many women facing emotional struggles in their everyday lives.
Hajra shared that countless women reached out to her through messages, telling her that certain scenes from Dr Bahu helped them release pain they had been carrying for years.
Addressing her followers directly, she described women as “walking, talking miracles” and encouraged them to recognize their worth and strength.
The actress also spoke about relationships that cause emotional harm, urging women not to ignore hurtful behavior from people who are supposed to protect and support them.
She encouraged them to make decisions for their own wellbeing, reminding them that they deserve love, happiness, security, and the freedom to choose their own path.
Reflecting on the emotional impact of difficult experiences, Hajra expressed hope that pain can eventually become a source of strength.
She also thanked the creators of Dr Bahu for trusting her with the role of Minha and expressed gratitude to viewers for embracing the character with so much love.
The heartfelt post quickly attracted attention from celebrities across the entertainment industry. Actress Kubra Khan praised Hajra’s achievement, writing that she was proud of her and wished her continued success.
Mahira Khan also celebrated the recognition Hajra is receiving, while Yumna Zaidi simply expressed her pride and support. Numerous actors and fans joined the conversation, congratulating Hajra on her performance.
The appreciation has extended beyond Pakistan as well. Indian writer and producer Sutapa Sikdar, wife of late actor Irrfan Khan, also praised Hajra’s work. Commenting on online discussions about the drama, Sikdar described the actress as an “underrated gem” and commended her ability to deliver consistently strong performances.
Responding to the praise, Hajra expressed her gratitude and revealed that she has long admired Irrfan Khan’s work. She described the recognition as especially meaningful and thanked Sikdar for her kind words.
The praise follows a particularly emotional episode of Dr Bahu that left viewers deeply moved. In Episode 21, Minha discovers the truth about her husband Faizan’s relationship with Ambar, leading to a heartbreaking confrontation.
Hajra’s portrayal of shock, heartbreak, anger, helplessness, and emotional collapse struck a chord with audiences, many of whom described the scene as unforgettable.
Dr Bahu continues to attract viewers with its story of an educated woman determined to continue her medical career after marriage despite facing resistance from family members who challenge her independence and ambitions.
Through Minha’s journey, the drama explores themes of self-respect, resilience and the struggles many women face while trying to balance personal dreams with societal expectations.
