For over six months, Bangladeshi actress Mahia Mahi has been living in New York, far from her two-and-a-half-year-old son, Farish. In a heartfelt social media post, she described him as her “soul” and revealed that being apart from him has been profoundly difficult. Farish is currently staying with his father in Bangladesh, and their only contact is through Messenger and WhatsApp video calls. Even small interactions, such as seeing her son smile, bring tears to Mahi’s eyes, underscoring the intensity of maternal attachment.
Mahi has significantly reduced her acting commitments since becoming a mother, dedicating herself entirely to Farish’s upbringing. Precious moments—teaching him to walk, playing together, and capturing his laughter on camera—have become treasured memories that now sustain her emotionally, even as they amplify the pain of separation.
Despite speculation about the purpose of her stay in the United States, Mahi emphasised that it was strictly for professional reasons. Her posts reveal both vulnerability and unwavering affection, as she admits longing to hold and cuddle her child, something impossible over video calls. Nights are particularly difficult, with the actress quietly shedding tears while lying alone in New York, yearning for her son’s presence.
Professionally, Mahi’s journey has seen highs and lows. She made her Dhallywood debut in 2012 with Bhalobashar Rong, experienced personal heartbreaks, and navigated complex relationships. Her life experiences, including recent family developments and motherhood, have made her both resilient and deeply empathetic. Through social media, Mahi’s heartfelt expressions demonstrate the enduring strength of maternal bonds, even across continents, showing that emotional ties often transcend physical distance.
