Mariam Ansari thanks Ali Ansari for being her brother, best friend and father figure

You don’t need a special occasion to tell someone how much they mean to you. Keeping that in mind, Mariam Ansari penned a heartfelt note for her brother Ali Ansari. She let him know how much she appreciates him being there for her not only as a brother, but fulfilling a parent’s role as well.

On Sunday, she took to Instagram to share how special her connection with her sibling is. “No matter how many arguments and fights you have with your siblings at the end of the day they are always going to be your biggest support system. This 7up TVC really fills my heart with joy and reflect the bond I share with my brother,” she wrote.

She listed down all the ways he has made sure she’s supported. “Ali Ansari has always been my number one!! Irrespective of being an elder brother he’s played more pivotal roles as a friend when I needed him to be, a fatherly figure when I had to walk down the aisle and mostly, a pillar of strength,” she said. “Despite our vast age gap you always made sure you are my best friend before an elder brother. I’ve never felt that I could never share my feelings with you, you’ve remained so patient with me and continuously been there whether it be my parent-teacher meetings or running in the parents race on sports day just so I could win a gold medal.”

Mariam said though she may be an adult now, she’ll always be his baby sister. “Thank you for teaching me how to be wise, brave and persevere. Your strength is profound, even during adolescence you always stood by my side and protected me. I’m lucky to have a brother like you and the immense love and comfort that you bring to our family!” she wrote.

She expressed her gratitude for Ali playing all these roles perfectly and prioritising her comfort and safety before his own. “I will always appreciate your sacrifices and putting me first even when you didn’t have to. May Allah bless every sister with brother like you,” she concluded.
