Sanam Jung Shares the Ups and Downs of Parenting Abroad
Sanam Jung parenting abroad comes with both challenges and joys. She shares how raising her daughter far from Pakistan, moving to Texas, and adjusting to a new lifestyle has been an adventure full of learning, love, and surprises.
Left behind the spotlight for family time
Swapping her busy career for full-time motherhood wasn’t simple. Sanam Jung parenting abroad means balancing work memories with new daily routines. She admits missing the thrill of her on-screen projects but finds the laughter and milestones of her daughter far more rewarding.
Started a new chapter in Texas
After tying the knot with Abdul Qassam Jafri in 2016, Sanam’s life took a Texan turn in 2023. The couple had originally planned to juggle a long-distance relationship when Abdul, a pilot, moved to the US for work. But once Sanam’s green card arrived, she packed her bags and, with their daughter in tow, set off for Houston to reunite the family under one roof.
