During a recent talk show appearance, Nida shared that Yasir had strongly encouraged their daughter to pursue a career in medicine, reflecting his own unfulfilled ambition of becoming a doctor.

According to Nida, her husband had wanted to enter the medical profession during his younger years but was unable to fulfil that dream. As a result, he hoped their daughter would follow the career path he had once envisioned for himself.

She explained that Yasir’s preference was not limited to discussions about their daughter’s future profession. He had also encouraged her to select O-Level subjects that would prepare her for medical studies.

However, Nida said she and their children did not agree with the idea of deciding their daughter’s professional future without considering her personal interests and ambitions.

Describing herself as a friendly and understanding mother, Nida emphasised that she maintains an open relationship with her children and believes their educational and career decisions should reflect their individual abilities, preferences and aspirations.

She felt that their daughter deserved the freedom to explore different opportunities rather than being expected to pursue a profession primarily because of her father’s personal ambitions.

Nida revealed that she initially tried to explain her perspective to Yasir through discussions at home, but her efforts failed to change his mind.

With the disagreement remaining unresolved, she decided to seek professional guidance instead of continuing the debate.

The television host arranged an appointment with a qualified student career counsellor and persuaded her husband to attend the session with her.

During the consultation, the counsellor provided detailed guidance on educational pathways, O-Level subject selection, university degree programmes and potential career opportunities.

Nida explained that the counsellor used research, relevant data and structured discussions to help Yasir better understand the importance of choosing subjects and careers according to a student’s interests and future goals.

The professional approach proved effective, as Yasir gradually began to reconsider his earlier position.

According to Nida, the session helped her husband recognise that their daughter’s career should not necessarily be determined by his own unrealised ambitions.

She said the experience ultimately helped resolve their disagreement by allowing both parents to better understand the importance of supporting their daughter’s educational preferences and future career choices.
