Mariyam Nafees - a prominent figure in Pakistani entertainment - has stirred a heated debate on social media with her recent remarks about Pakistani men and dress codes.
Currently enjoying a vacation in London, the actress faced backlash after sharing photos of herself in bold and summer attire, prompting a critical response from a social media user.
In response to a comment suggesting foreigners in Pakistan adhere to traditional clothing while Pakistanis abroad wear shorter outfits, Mariyam Nafees criticized what she described as the Pakistani environment's unsuitability for such attire due to men staring at women.
She expressed frustration, stating, "Thanks to Pakistani men’s ogling. Nothing to be proud of – they have to cover up so you don’t die staring at ’em Bitter Facts."
The actress's comments have ignited a robust online conversation, with many social media users both supporting and criticizing her stance. While some argue that issues of ogling are universal and not limited to Pakistan, others have highlighted cultural and religious considerations regarding modesty in dress.
Mariyam Nafees, known for her roles in popular dramas such as "Diyar E Dil," "Yaqeen Ka Safar," and "Jaan E Jahan," has a substantial following on social media platforms, where her posts often attract significant attention and engagement.
