Iqra Aziz, an actor, has refused silence in the face of injustice. She chose to resign from her project with Feroze Khan in order to support victims of domestic violence in addition to being outspoken about the side she supports. She, along with her husband Yasir Hussain, sides with Khan’s previous wife Aliza Sultan who recently produced emergency room reports and images of her bruises in a Karachi family court as proof of abuse.
Pinjra, which was directed and produced by Wajahat Rauf, starred Iqra Aziz with Feroze Khan and Imran Ashraf. The Khuda Aur Mohabbat actress has opted to cancel the project in order to show her support for Aliza Sultan Khan in light of recent allegations of domestic violence against the seasoned actor.
Iqra declared on Instagram that to remain silent in the face of injustice is to support the oppressor. I have decided to rescind my collaboration with Feroze Khan in light of the current domestic violence issue as a show of sympathy for those who have been harmed in their homes. This was a difficult but essential decision.
I support Alizeh Sultan in her pursuit of justice, more strength and power to you, she continued.
Actor Hussain also publicly expressed his opinion on the subject, referencing the cycle of abuse and the characteristics of a good interpersonal dynamic. “All praise be to Allah, I adore my wife and kids. There is a 90% possibility that my son will touch my wife tomorrow if I touch her. While fighting between spouses is common, beating each other up like animals is not.
No matter whether it is committed by a celebrity or a regular person, he said, he is opposed to domestic abuse. He prayed for Sultan and declared, “I stand by Aliza and her family. May Allah soon grant them peace and remove these burdens from their lives. Amen.”
On Tuesday, pictures of Sultan with injuries as well as her ER and MLO reports began to become viral on social media. Along with a report from Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre’s Accident and Emergency Department describing “blunt injuries on both arms, [the] back, chest, and face,” they were among the papers her legal team submitted to a District East Family Court.
As celebrities began publicly denouncing domestic violence, this stirred up controversy online. A large group of celebrities from the entertainment sector, including Mariyam Nafees, Asim Azhar, Osman Khalid Butt, Mansha Pasha, Shae Gill, Ushna Shah, Minal and Aiman Khan, and Usman Mukhtar, came together to support Sultan wholeheartedly.
