Nadia Jamil Reflects on Her Visually-Impaired Daughter’s Journey to Regain Sight
In a touching reflection of a transformative moment, renowned actor Nadia Jamil recently appeared on Mazaq Raat to recall her extraordinary journey with her adoptive daughter, Nuri. The story, which started with the innocence of a three-month-old visually impaired infant full of life, has now evolved into a testament to love, resilience, and a miraculous, awe-inspiring journey.
Known for her acting prowess, Nadia opened up about the first time she saw Nuri, describing her as a confident and happy child. Little did she know that this meeting would set the stage for a remarkable chapter in both of their lives.
“When I saw Nuri, she was three months old. She was visually impaired. She was a confident and happy child. I held her and took her to Ali and said, ‘I want to adopt her.’ He instantly agreed,” recalled Nadia, capturing the emotional depth of that transformative moment.
The Journey of Hope to Reality for Nadia Jamil
The journey took an unexpected turn when the doctor disclosed that, at the age of two and a half, Nuri would require surgery for a cornea transplant. Also, subsequent procedures are planned for the other eye. However, amid uncertainty, a glimmer of hope emerged. During this critical period, the doctor introduced three new eye drops as an experimental treatment. Nadia, who was in London with her sons then, received a call from Ali that would change everything.
“I was in London with my sons at that time, when Ali called me and said that she could see. I said, ‘No, I don’t believe it, this can’t be, how can it be?’ Ali videocalled me from there and showed me,” shared Nadia, reflecting on the disbelief turned into overwhelming joy. Taking a beat to fight back tears, she said, “Nuri is my miracle.”
