When it comes to Christmas, Durban actress Mishqah Parthiephal \u2013 from Keeping up with the Kandasamy\u2019s fame – considers herself no certified Christmas nut. We find out how the new mom of one and her hubby Tarlan Baker are coping abroad and juggling busy schedules.<\/p>\n
As a born and raised Muslim, Mishqah only started celebrating Christmas when she met Tarlan and says she\u2019s slowly learning to play the part. Since moving to the US last year she\u2019s also living it up very differently these days, with all the jingles, festive jumpers and possibly a jolly chilly white Christmas on the cards.<\/p>\nPhoto: JoNo Nienaber Photography; Dress: Minty\u2019s Fabrics; Hair:\u00a0Vickram Singh; Make-up:\u00a0Warren Killian; Jewellery:\u00a0Blossom Box Jewelry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Honest, caring, reserved and undeniably beautiful, Mishqah is the essence of what it means to be destined for great things. From TV adverts in her Durban days to award-winning American comedy series, she\u2019s always been committed to captivating storytelling. While in town for the launch of the latest Kandasamys: The Baby, Mishqah talked openly to us about her mild anxiety and having to dig deep to play the role of a mother with postpartum depression, and celebrating her first Christmas in the USA without family.<\/p>\n
Mishqah\u2019s passion for the film industry and her commitment to her acting career has seen her dedicate the last seven years, among other things, to her role as Jodi in The Kandasamy\u2019s franchise that has broken box office records. And while it\u2019s been a journey filled with plenty of belly laughs, Mishqah says the latest instalment was tough on her.<\/p>\n
Tarlan and Mishqah had no sooner settled overseas when they welcomed their son Jude into the world. Being in another country, Mishqah was not fortunate enough to have her mum and close family nearby to celebrate or help keep her sane.<\/p>\n
\u201cJodi\u2019s postpartum journey was incredibly difficult to play. While I had bad and tired days when I was postpartum with my own son, it was nothing compared to what Jodi went through. It was honestly scary going down that dark path to show the world what Jodi was experiencing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mishqah makes a point of admitting that if it was not for the support of her parents, especially her mum who stepped in and helped take care of five-month-old Jude while she was filming on location in Durban, sans her husband who had work commitments in the States, she would not have been able to successfully fill her role as Jodi.<\/p>\nMishqah Parthiephal as Jodi Kandasamy, Madhushan Sing as Prishen Naidoo in Kandasamy’s: The Baby.

\u201cAfter tackling that role and having recently celebrated Jude\u2019s first birthday, I can finally say I\u2019m starting to find my feet in motherhood. This has been one hell of a crazy journey, but he is our greatest blessing, and we know what unconditional love really feels like.\u201d<\/p>\n
While she recalls her earliest introductions to dance films and musicals as being exposed \u2013 she was five – to her grandmother\u2019s obsession with the film Dirty Dancing, Mishqah says she knew she was hooked when she developed her own teen fascination with Frenchy and Rizzo from the original\u00a0Grease movie.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was kind of serious – in fact too serious,\u201d Mishqah says of her Durban Girls\u2019 High School days. \u201cAt most I\u2019d get caught on video fooling around with different South African accents. It was only in my latter school years that I began to view acting as a serious career path for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since then the 34-year-old Durban-born and raised actress has landed her derriere not only in leading roles alongside some big international names \u2013 including Canadian stand-up comedian Russel Peters in Indian Detective – but also in the director\u2019s chair where she hopes to inspire the world by telling more female Muslim-led stories.<\/p>\n
A big fan of the outdoors, especially the beach, Mishqah says her journey with The Kandasamy\u2019s has been about more than just keeping fans heavily invested in the journey of its characters; it has also allowed her to continuously reunite with long-standing friends, spend quality time with her mum, dad and siblings, and do some of her favourite things like cycling or running on the boardwalk before cooling off in the sea – something she used to do every Saturday, all before 7am!<\/p>\nPhoto: JoNo Nienaber Photography; Hair:\u00a0Vickram Singh; Make-up:\u00a0Warren Killian;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\u201cI travel a lot for work, and now that I\u2019m a mother, Jude goes everywhere I go. He\u2019s still little so it\u2019s easier to travel with him because he doesn\u2019t go to school. If time allows, Tarlan joins us somewhere along the way.<\/p>\n
When it comes to Christmas and the holidays, Mishqah says it has always been a special time of year for her in-laws.<\/p>\n
\u201cTarlan loves it too! Since I\u2019ve celebrated only a handful of Christmasses, I\u2019d have to say my best one so far was in 2021, when Tarlan and I hosted it at our home for the first time as a married couple. It was so stressful but so much fun. Last year we celebrated our first Christmas in America and while it was cold and cozy as opposed to Durban\u2019s typical hot and sticky, it was very difficult for us since we were without the rest of our family. We are hoping to look forward to happier, busier Christmases, with some very special visitors in the future, and hopefully made even more special with a dash of snow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Outside of film, Mishqah loves to cook for family and friends.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m always trying out new recipes and forcing Tarlan to eat whatever I\u2019ve made, LOL! Every moment we have together is special. It\u2019s cheesy I know, but every activity we plan is for Jude. We love getting takeouts and sitting in the park and letting him run around till he\u2019s spent. We live for making him happy.\u201d<\/p>\nPhoto: JoNo Nienaber Photography; Dress: Minty\u2019s Fabrics; Hair:\u00a0Vickram Singh; Make-up:\u00a0Warren Killian; Jewellery:\u00a0Blossom Box Jewelry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Quick-fire with Mishqah<\/strong><\/p>\n
Your go-to beauty secret \u2026<\/em> I love to oil my hair the night before I have to wash my hair. People usually use coconut or almond oil, but I find those very drying on my hair, so I love using olive oil.<\/p>\n
Your best stress tools \u2026<\/em>\u00a0I have mild anxiety, so I often have tough days. Meditation and yoga are the only two things that help me get through my day, so that I\u2019m able to be present for my son, husband and the rest of my family.<\/p>\n
Holiday downtime \u2026<\/em> You can unwind during the holidays? I definitely don\u2019t know how to do that! Well that\u2019s what my husband tells me. He\u2019s always saying I need to sit down and do nothing.<\/p>\n
The best Christmas gift you\u2019ve received \u2026<\/em> Santa never visited my Muslim house growing up, so it\u2019s only recent, and it was a pair of headphones. Honestly I didn\u2019t want them, but now I use them almost every day!<\/p>\n
The best gift you\u2019ve given \u2026<\/em> I got my husband a really cool pair of golf shoes.<\/p>\n
How will New Year\u2019s Eve be spent \u2026<\/em> Relaxing at home.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s in store for 2024 \u2026<\/em>\u00a0My main goal is to get my next short film funded and made. I would also like to take better care of my body. After having a baby, I feel very depleted. So I\u2019m hopeful that I can start making healthier lifestyle choices.<\/p>\nKandasamy’s: The Baby.

About the movie<\/strong><\/p>\n
If you haven\u2019t seen it, Kandasamys: The Baby, is available to stream on Netflix. It kicks off in Durbs and then blissful Mauritius, where Jodi (Mishqah Parthiephal) and Prishen (Madhushan Singh) prepare to welcome their bundle of joy, while dealing with the interference of iconic mom and soon-to-be grandmother duo of Jennifer (Jailoshini Naidoo) and Shanti (Maeshni Naicker).<\/p>\n
It\u2019s all lullabies and nursery rhymes until drama ensues with the mom-squad, who join forces, and have brow-raising ideas on how to welcome and raise the new baby. Feathers are ruffled and new traditions are formed, but family Matriarch Aya (Mariam Bassa) distances herself as she has separate plans to enjoy a stunning Mauritian getaway. Loveable granddads Elvis (Koobeshen Naidoo) and Preggie (Yugan Naidoo) take matters into their own hands, once again, as the peace of their idyllic escape from Durban is threatened. With lots of laughs, tears new faces and oh-so-relatable tropes, it is sure to bring you joy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
