In the interview, Mahira shared her feelings about walking down the aisle with Azlan, her son from her previous marriage. “It feels like every single thing that went wrong… Let me put it in a better way… for every time that I was good in some way, I was kind, or looked after people around me. It was as if God put it all together and blessed me and said, ‘Here, this is for the good that you have done.’ It felt like that moment. I was constantly saying Alhamdulillah,” she said.
Describing the emotional connection with her son, Mahira added, “This was a very big moment. I was very proud of my child… I wanted him to walk me down the aisle, so he did!”
