LAHORE – Pakistan’s popular singer cum makeup artist Hadiqa Kiani has clapped back at trolls who have been hurling ageist comments her way on her social media by urging people to put an end to women hating other women.
The singer turned to her Instagram addressing the comment from one of the women who stated: “Aunty ab tumhari Allah Allah karne ki age hai,” censoring her name to protect her name from getting bullied.
“Very unfortunate that the ageist hater comments always come from girls. I’ve blocked out her name because I don’t want anyone bullied but we have to do a better job raising our daughters to love themselves and other women,” she stated.
“Heads up ladies, you’re all going to age, you’re all going to gain a few pounds or lose a few pounds, get a few wrinkles and despite your success and independence, society will try to judge you and tell you to conform to their standards. But at least as women, we can’t limit one another any longer,” she adds.
Furthermore, she added more to talk about her views on the thought that a woman should limit herself to her house after hitting a certain age: “The idea that you’re supposed to just die and get locked in a house after age 35 as a woman in this country needs to end. If Allah gives me the energy, strength and motivation to be this active when I’m 55, 65 or 75 and if I want to be this active, then I will.”
“And as far as the “Allah Allah kerne ka waqt hau” comment…you should be thinking of Allah at every age,” she concluded.
This is not the first time Hadiqa had addressed a women related issue, Earlier in October 2018, the award-winning star had shared a thread of stories in which she asked her followers to respect single parents and their parenting capabilities and not force them into relationships they are not interested in.
Hadiqa had written, “The notion that the single mother is a victim needing your pity or love is beyond me. The fact that men like this think that I, or any woman, is desperate for marriage because she has a child is disgusting.”
“Having a child is not a disability. Its an honour and a privilege,” she had mentioned.
We highly agree with Kiani’s thoughts. We are of the firm belief that you should tolerate the opinions and behaviour of others so that they will similarly tolerate your own.
