'I Thought This Happened Only In Pakistan', Say Pak Actors As They Extend Support To Alia Bhatt
Pakistani actors Durefishan Saleem and Zara Noor Abbas have extended support to Alia Bhatt after sexist comments on her pregnancy news.
Alia Bhatt shared such happy news with her fans, who are always eager to know what's happening in her personal life, but she soon came under the scanner and was scrutinized. The sexism, hatred and negativity were unwarranted. The news of her pregnancy made national headlines.

Now, Pakistani actors including Zara Noor Abbas and Durefishan Saleem have extended support to Alia Bhatt.
Instagram
Zara Noor Abbas wrote in support of Alia Bhatt, "I thought only Pakistan thinks like this".
She added, "Especially when brands wanted to drop me, when they got know I was expecting. Becoming pregnant and being an actress makes the society feel you are not good for work anymore. Well, guess what, women are good enough for everything and anything and it's time the dictators realise so. We don't have to prove our motherhood and craft to any patriarchy."
Durefishan Saleem wrote on Instagram Story, "We can get married/make babies and still be kick*** fab. Marriage is a part of life, not a halt. Stop telling women that their career goals don't align well with that."
On Monday, Alia Bhatt had announced on Instagram that she and Ranbir were having their first child together. "Our baby... coming soon," she wrote on Instagram.
She had thanked people for their love in another Instagram Story.
"Overwhelmed with all the love ! Have tried to read everyone's messages and good wishes and all I want to say is, it truly feels so special to celebrate such a big moment in our lives with all your love and blessings. Thank you every single one of you."

She had also slammed a sexist report and wrote, "Meanwhile we still live in some people's heads. We still live in a patriarchal world. FYI, nothing has gotten delayed. No one needs to pick anyone up. I am a woman, not a parcel. I do not need to rest at all but good to know you'll have a doctor's certification as well. This is 2022. Can we please get out of this archaic way of thinking? Now if you would excuse me. My shot is ready."
