Speaking to Sabahat Zakariya on her podcast Feminustani, Sethi said her costars Sajal Ali and Syed Mohammed Ahmed knew about the divorce, as did director Nadeem Baig.
Acknowledging the grief and pain that comes with divorce, Sethi said marriage is a story.
The author and actor said the slow and important process of dealing with that collapse has pushed her to look inwards.
Speaking about the shift in attitudes towards divorce, Sethi recalled a drama she had done earlier in her career, where she had a dialogue saying a divorced woman was “like a thorn to society”.
The interview ended on a note about how language is perceived in Pakistani society, with Zakariya saying Punjabi parents weren’t speaking to their children in their native language, which Sethi countered saying hers did.
