Pakistani model Zainab Yousaf has sparked plenty of controversy after her remarks about “sugar daddy” relationships went viral on social media.

 

In a recent interview, Zainab advised young women to stay cautious in such relationships and not treat them as serious commitments. She said that many girls make the mistake of expecting marriage, but she believes the dynamic should remain transactional.

 

“Don’t take sugar daddies seriously, don’t fall in love. They are already married and have children. Take as much financial benefit as you can,” she said.

 

She also encouraged taking cash instead of gifts, saying that it helps maintain independence.

 

“I think taking cash is better than gifts so you can stay financially independent at all times,” she stated. 

 

Zainab claimed that many of her friends follow the same approach and rely on such relationships for a certain lifestyle.

 

“Many of my friends have sugar daddies. They get bags and perfumes, but when those men are not with them, they have no other source of income,” she claimed. 

 

She warned that this dependency can lead to serious consequences.

 

“I have seen girls get into smoking, drugs and other bad things when that lifestyle suddenly disappears,” she added.

 

Sharing an example, she spoke about a case involving a “sugar aunty.”

 

“I know someone who got a Land Cruiser from a sugar aunty, but it was taken back when the relationship ended, and it affected his lifestyle,” Zainab narrated. 

 

Her statements triggered strong reactions online, with many users criticizing her views. Several called the remarks inappropriate, while others described them as a reflection of declining social values. 

 

It is worth noting that she has over 112k followers on Instagram and has recently been seen with singer Zeeshan Rokhri in his song "Main Sadkay".
