Celebrity couple of Sadaf Kanwal and Shahroz Sabzwari appeared on ARY’s Hamary Mehmaan. The Alif actress was asked about her take on equality in marriage, to which she answered that ‘Mard ka darja upar hai, wo kamata hai, khilata hai, bachon ka khayal rakhta hai’.
She added that, ‘Mujhe Sherry ka zyada pata hona chahiye’, because she’s the wife. This interview has gone viral on the web and Sadaf also trended on Twitter for gendered statements about feminism and spouse equality.
Model Sabeeka Imam has schooled Sadaf Kanwal over her recent statement on feminism.
She took to her Twitter to express her opinion on the matter, “Feminism is about all genders having equal rights and opportunities. It’s about respecting diverse women’s experiences, identities, knowledge and strengths, and striving to empower all women to realise their full rights.”
FYI… "Feminism is about all genders having equal rights and opportunities. It's about respecting diverse women's experiences, identities, knowledge and strengths, and striving to empower all women to realise their full rights."

When you don't know the definition of feminism… start rambling about ironing your husband's clothes. EPIC! 👏🏼

It seems like "Feminism" ke lafz se kaafi logon ko allergy hai due to misleading ideologies. Feminism lafz acha nahi lagta to bas itna samjh lein… ek aurat ko bhi INSAAN samjhein! It is just a plea to all the men we have to face in our daily lives & throughout our entire lives.

Exhibit A : Sadaf saying that Wives should be picking up shoes and ironing the clothes of their husbands.

#SadafKanwal just makes me realize we are far from becoming a progressive nation that simply believes in treating both spouses equally. “Our culture is our husband” wtf???
