Pakistani actress Sarah Khan has once again reiterated her stance on feminism, which has sparked a fresh wave of controversy on all over social media. Taking to her Instagram handle, the actress urged that a woman's strength lies not in imitating men, but in owning her divine femininity.
“When I say I'm not a feminist, I don't mean I don't believe in equality. I absolutely believe in equal respect, equal rights, and equal opportunities for women. What I mean is I'm not today's version of a feminist.
I'm a real, original feminist. An OG feminist,” wrote Sarah.
“The kind that I believe a woman's strength lies not in imitating men, but in owning her divine femininity.
I believe women are powerful enough to be treated like the queens they are respected, cherished, and valued for who they truly are,” she emphasized.
“Women were never meant to labor like machines. We are made to nurture homes, raise empires, build generations, and lead with grace.
Look at Hazrat Khadija (RA) a successful businesswoman, yet the epitome of dignity, balance, and womanhood.
She had the right to work, and so do we. But she also valued the sacredness of family, of purpose, of faith and never lost herself in the race for external validation,” she added.
“I don't understand this mindset that glorifies waking up early to build someone else's dream in an office, but frowns upon making breakfast for your own husband or raising your own children.
Since when did being a devoted wife or a mother become 'less'? Sarah inquired.
“A woman's role is is sacred. She can be educated, driven, ambitious but also gentle, graceful, and rooted.
She doe not have to choose one over the other. She is allowed to define her own balance, she stressed.
“And lastly Feminism shouldn't mean abandoning femininity.
It should mean honoring our choices even if that choice is home, motherhood, softness, and strength wrapped in love.
It's a divine power. Let's not trade it for a version of strength that forgets who we really are, Sarah clarified.”
