Modernism is not the same as vulgarity: Humaira Ali on feminism

Renowned actor and model Humaira Ali thinks the true idea of feminism has been misunderstood.

In a recent interview on Ahmad Ali Butt’s podcast ‘Excuse Me’, Humaira Ali, known for ‘Tamasha’, talked about feminism and women’s empowerment.

“For me, feminism means respecting both men and women. No gender should dominate the other. Celebrating femininity is true feminism,” she said.

“Women should stand up for their rights and be strong. Men and women are different physically, and that’s beautiful. Don’t blur those lines,” added the ‘Ehsaan Faramosh’ actor.

Ali also shared her thoughts on how feminism is misunderstood today. “I believe the true idea of feminism has been distorted. It’s not about harsh words or vulgarity. There must be a difference between modernism and vulgarity,” she said.

“It’s not about religion, country, or civilization. A woman should not be depicted badly under feminism,” she concluded.
