Maya Ali is ready to start with kindness and respect after she realised how “precious peace and unity really are” following the tumultuous times Pakistan faced during escalating tensions with India before a ceasefire was announced on Saturday.

Writing a long note from her heart, the actor said life was finally back on track and as people felt more relaxed and could focus on their work and families.

She continued that after everything Pakistan had gone through, she understood the importance of peace and unity, adding that Pakistan showed the world that no matter what happened, no one could break the people apart.

“We stood together, and we stood strong as one nation. Now that we’ve faced the storm outside, it’s time to fix what’s inside. Let’s stop the hate, the blame, the backbiting, and the negativity. Let’s not pull each other down,” Ali urged in a series of Instagram stories.

The Sunn Mere Dil actor encouraged people to be there for those struggling and not spread rumours, false news, or judge others. She highlighted that everyone was going through something simply trying their best.

“We don’t always see what’s happening in someone else’s life, so let’s not jump to conclusions or invade their privacy.

“Can we just move on from the past? Let’s start fresh with kindness, support, and respect for one another. This is our time to rise together!”

Ali asked her followers to be kind, speak politely, not use harsh words or judge someone without knowing their story.

“Let’s focus on our own work. Let’s take pride in our people. And most importantly, let’s respect one another and the dignity of every profession.

“We grow as a nation when we allow our people to grow. Nations are not built on money alone, they are built on unity, love, and faith. Let’s stand together. Let’s support one another. Always.”
