Muskaan Mihani celebrates daughter's 10th birthday; says ‘She stepped into double digits, now double the responsibility'
But for Muskaan, it was more than just a birthday—it was a celebration of a decade of motherhood.
'My daughter is 10. While celebrating her birthday yesterday, I was also celebrating my motherhood,' she shared warmly. 'I completed 10 years of happiness, care. Being an actress, staying away from sets and shoots was a little difficult, but having a hug and listening to the word 'mom' from my daughter was an amazing pleasure.'
With her daughter now stepping into double digits, Muskaan feels the timing is perfect to gently encourage independence while also preparing herself to return to her career. 'Now she's 10, and I feel this is a perfect time to let her become independent and for me to focus back on my career,' she added.
Speaking about this important transitional phase, Muskaan explained, 'I feel stepping into double digit, double is everything.
A kid is often confused with everything. It's a parent's duty to make them understand and allow them to become clear and make decisions. You can't force them, but you can help them to be clear in mind.'
Aware of the emotional and developmental shifts that come with preadolescence, Muskaan said, 'I'm also prepared, as at 10 years old, my daughter will be transitioning from childhood to preadolescence. And I completely understand a mother's role in nurturing her daughter's growth across all these areas.'
She credits her own mother for guiding her and her sister, actress Rishika Mihani. 'She always suggested praising your daughter's accomplishments and focusing on effort and progress. Encouraging her to embrace new challenges is key.'
Muskaan's reflections beautifully mirror the balance between parenting and personal purpose.

Sehban Azim on World Nature Conservation Day, says ‘A greener, kinder world is still within reach'
On the occasion of World Nature Conservation Day, observed every year on July 28, actor Sehban Azim shared a powerful message urging people to re-evaluate their relationship with the planet. Known for his sensitive portrayals in shows like Dill Mill Gayye, Bepannaah, and Spy Bahu, Sehban used the opportunity to speak from the heart about environmental degradation and hope for change. Highlighting the day's importance, he said, 'The day also emphasizes the need to conserve vital elements of nature such as flora, fauna, air, water, soil, and energy resources to maintain ecological balance.' He went on to paint a stark picture of the current state of the planet, saying, 'The Earth is not ours, we don't own it, but because we consider ourselves the most intelligent species, it should be considered ours to protect. Forests are being burnt for profits, oceans are choking on plastic, species are vanishing in silence, and bombs are falling louder than the cries of a dying planet.' Expressing concern over the choices made in the name of development, he added, 'Major corporations are tearing down ancient forests for short-term gain. Cities are drowning in smoke, children grow up under sirens instead of birdsong, and we're drifting closer to a dystopian future.' But his message wasn't without hope. 'Even now, in the depths of greed and war, seeds of hope remain. If we choose peace over power, planet over profit, and regeneration over destruction—a greener, kinder world is still within reach.' Quoting Ozzy Osbourne, he concluded, 'I'm a dreamer, who dreams of better days.' Sehban emphasized that by uniting for this global cause, we can spark real change and work toward a sustainable, thriving Earth for future generations.
