There is an overwhelming amount of support from celebrities on social media for Feroze Khan’s ex-wife, Syeda Aliza after she presented the court with her medical report and pictures as proof that she had endured physical assault during the course of her marriage.
Since then, Feroze Khan has come out with an official statement, rejecting the physical violence allegations. Calling the allegations baseless, he stated that he will be pursuing legal action against the allegations as well.
Soon after the pictures started circulating on social media, celebrities spoke up in Aliza’s defense and lent their support. Besides female celebrities, male celebrities are also coming forward and taking a strict stance against domestic violence.
Below are some Pakistani male celebrities who have used their influence to denounce the alleged domestic abuse Aliza had to go through.
“Domestic violence is unacceptable. No if’s & but’s. No ‘other side of the story.’ Takes a lot of strength to speak up. Praying for Aliza & her family.”
“The MLO report Aliza presented as evidence states: ‘Blunt injuries on both arms, back, chest and face.’ I know we’re an incredibly desensitized society but read that again. Let it sink in.”
“Dukh hota hai yeh dekh ker. Absolutely disgusted!! hope Aliza Sultan gets justice.”
“Alhamdulillah Mai apni bv aur bachy se bohot pyaar karta hun.
Agar mai apni bv per hath uthaonga toh 90% chances hain k kal mera beta bhi yehi Kary ga. Miyan bv mai larai hona normal hai magar aik dosry ko janwaron ki tarha marna peetna normal nahi.
Mai domestic abuse k sakht khilaaf hun. Phir chahy woh koi superstar Kary ya aam insaan.
I support Alizay and her family. Allah unhain jald mushkilaat se bahar nikaaly aur Zindagi mai sukoon laye. Ameen”
“They always say that there are 2 sides to a story but honestly with pain,grief and evidence comes alot of truth! And mostly the truth is always bitter!
Sadly in our society a man raising his hand on a woman is perceived to be all high and mighty but in all honesty that’s the weakest a man can get! More power to all those women who speak up against domestic violence and for all those who can’t speak up, WE need to become their voice! And we need to become ONE in order to change the misogynistic cultures that are a deep rooted evil in our societies.”
It is refreshing to see men, that too with influence, standing up against something as vile as domestic violence. While it is almost too easy to stay silent on things that matter, actors with millions of fans standing with what’s right speak volumes about how they are as people.
