Taking to Instagram, she posted a carousel of photos and clips accompanied by a long caption in which she expressed heartfelt thanks to her followers for their continued love and support over the years.
She revealed that she initially considered keeping the moment private but felt that gratitude deserved to be shared.
“Almost kept this to myself and my journal… but then I was reminded that gratitude sometimes deserves to be spoken,” she wrote.
The actress added that spending her birthday in her own home was once something she was told would not be possible so early in her career.
However, she credited her unwavering faith and belief in Allah for making it happen, emphasising the importance of pure intentions and unshakeable belief.
She also reflected on her six-year journey in the industry, noting that while it was not always easy, it was made gentler because of the support she received from her audience.
She thanked fans for loving her as she is – real, flawed, and unapologetically herself – and for allowing her the space to grow without seeking constant validation.
She spoke about staying true to her values, choosing integrity over convenience, listening to her heart, and learning to move at her own pace despite external pressures. According to Dure, this commitment to authenticity may be where “the magic” truly lies.
The birthday reflections were also tinged with sadness, as the actress revealed that her heart has been heavy following the recent passing of her best friend’s father after a battle with cancer.
She shared that the loss made celebrations feel incomplete and requested her followers to offer prayers for the departed soul.
She expressed gratitude for the birthday wishes and prayers she received, reaffirming her commitment to continue entertaining her fans while remaining true to herself.
Her post resonated strongly with followers and fellow celebrities, including Dananeer, Yumna Zaidi and Ushna Shah, who flooded the comments section with messages of love, support, and prayers, praising her honesty, humility, and emotional depth.
