Top model Sadaf Sabzwari is making it to top Twitter trends these days with a viral video clip. The famous couple Sadaf Kanwal and Shahroz Sabzwari appeared in an interview with a local news outlet. The couple has always been in the limelight due to their controversial marriage. This time Sadaf Kanwal’s ruminations about women’s life after marriage are the target of trollers. Have you watched her viral video clip? Follow the article you’ll get to know all the details.
Shahroz’s first marriage
A year ago, Shahroz Sabzwari married the model came actress Sadaf Kanwal amid the lockdown. Since then, the couple is always surrounded by trolls and hate comments. The marriage became controversial and faced a lot of backlashes because Shehroz was previously married to Syra Yousaf. They also had a daughter, “Nooreh.”
As soon as Sadaf posted their Nikkah announcement on Instagram, backfire started. Most of the people criticized the model and called her a “homewrecker.” Reports claim that they were both already in a relationship before the divorce of him with Syra. However, the truth is still unknown. Further, this is Sadaf Kanwal’s first marriage.
Soon after the trolling started, Shahroz came in her defense and supported his new wife. However, Syra Yousaf, Shahroz’s ex-wife throughout the fiasco, chose to stay silent. Despite people calling her Queen, sharing old screenshots of Sadaf, and bashing her in the comments section of Instagram, she tackled the situation gracefully.
What happened at the interview?
In a recent interview, the couple revealed details about their personal life, work, and family. Discussing the details, when the host asked the model about feminism, her response was perplexing. Her confused statement made no sense to some people. On the contrary, some people supported the model.
The host asked her if a woman in Pakistani society is “WEAK?” to which her response was “NO.” She stressed the strong character of women in society and called herself a strong woman. Further, she asked to remove the tag of “BECHARI” with all the females.
“Women are not weak at all; Women are very strong. I am also very strong, and I think you are too”
However, in Pakistani society, the recent circumstances seem reversed. Men can easily suppress the voice of women these days. Physical violence and domestic violence these days have shattered the soul of many women. Unfortunately, our society is unsuccessful in molding strong women.
Moreover, she reduced feminism to taking care of husbands and illogically explained the gender roles. She said,
“Our Culture is our husband”
People made fun of her statement and unmarried girls trolled her by asking what if someone doesn’t have a husband? Would such a girl be cultureless?
Response of Twitter to Sadaf Kanwal!
This statement is the center of trolls as Twitterati can’t stop bashing her. Further, she explained that in marriage, a woman must know all about her husband, his clothes, shoes, and other daily stuff. However, a man shouldn’t know that much about her wife because this is our culture. This statement is one of the strangest things to hear, and people find it totally absurd.
The majority of the people stand against her point of view and call her statements baseless,
On the contrary, some people agree with her point of view. However, they are in the minority.
In the end, all we can do is clear Sadaf’s and your concepts about feminism in Pakistan. Being a feminist doesn’t mean that you can’t take care of your spouse. Feminism isn’t the name of women’s superiority. It’s about fighting for the rights of females who are oppressed. It’s about helping those women who face domestic and physical abuse. It has nothing to do with marriage. It clears out the gender roles.
Unfortunately, in Pakistan, no one tries to understand the essence of feminism. It is not about demeaning men. In fact, it is about encouraging women and help them against the patriarchy. On the other hand, when it comes to marriage, it requires struggle from both sides. Both men and women must respect and love each other to be in a happy relationship. It is impossible for women to make a happy home alone.
