Philanthropist Shaniera Akram has turned to social media to express her feeling for being apart from her husband Wasim Akram due to coronavirus pandemic.
The couple has been apart for nearly 145 days due to travel restrictions amid the pandemic and Shaniera’s feelings are highly relatable for someone, who has been living away from his family or loved ones.
Taking to her Instagram, 38-year-old Shaneira posted an adorable picture with her hubby and shared an emotional note saying, “145 days we have been apart! The longest ever. Although my heart is breaking everyday I have strength and believe that this world will end its suffering soon as there are those who have lost way more than us. InshAllah we have the love that knows no boundaries.”
“I pray that everyone stays safe, wears a mask and gets vaccinated as soon as possible so that life can continue as normal,” she said further. “I will do my best to be a good mother, citizen and keep my charity and work to help Pakistan as much as I can from here. My prayers to those during this Holy month of Ramadan who are suffering, struggling, in longing or sadly saying goodbye to loved ones.”
“Missing you Wasim, more than you could imagine. You are our everything,” added Shaniera.
Shaniera, who is originally from Melbourne, Australia, went to her home city in January and due to COVID-19 restrictions, she could not return to Karachi where she lives with her husband and 6-year-old daughter Aiyla Akram.
Later, on Twitter, she also shared a video in which, an elderly couple can be seen meeting after a long separation. "This is just beautiful," she wrote and addressing her husband saying, "This could be us soon."
