They took the support on each other’s respective Instagram accounts sharing Alia’s furious and angry post emphasizing the apparently misunderstood fact; that women do not have to prove anything to anyone.
“Becoming pregnant and being an actress makes 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 realize so. We don’t have to prove our motherhood and craft to any patriarchy,” the Badshah Begum actor shared.
On the other hand, Saleem also put her stance on sharing that being married and becoming a mother are part of life but that does not restrict a woman from achieving their goals.
Saleem wrote, “We can get married/make babies and still be kick a** fab. Marriage is a part of life, not a halt.” She also added people need to stop telling women that their career goals don’t align well with that.
