Famous Pakistani drama actor Adnan Siddiqui, who is considered as one of the most versatile and hardworking actors gave a tribute to women of today by writing a heartfelt note for his daughter on his Instagram.
And that’s just not it, the actor also shared how he is proud of all women of today.
“In the last few years we have come across many campaigns and debates regarding the rights of a woman. We have seen people talking about how women need to stand in this patriarchal world in favor of themselves, to raise the voices against the stereotypes of our society, to be what you are, to do what you want and become stronger for yourself.”
“Be it #ArfaKarim, the youngest certified Microsoft professional, #RukhsanaParveen & #SofiaJawed, the power duo who grabbed medals representing Pakistan in #boxing at South Asian Games, #SaniaNishtar who is a world renowned #cardiologist, #NighatDad who is an Internationally acclaimed & awarded human rights activist or #AyeshaFarooq who is Pakistan’s first ever ‘war-ready’ female fighter pilot; all these woman have stories, struggles & achievements to share with all of us. It is not ONLY the gender I am proud of, it is the dismantling of the ill-thought social norm I am so happy about.”
How many woman will you have to thank to give credit for the position you & I are in? Staring from our mothers who gave birth to us, to our maids who also looked after us, to our teachers who taught us, to our nurses who gave us those band aids when we were hurt, to our women security guards at the airports, malls and elsewhere putting our security before their own, to the banking women who help you with all your queries when you are in dire need of financial assistance, to the women call operators helping you understand the issue with your cellular service or to the woman who is now your partner in life, carries ALL your burden with you, feeds you, loves you & looks after your children while you work? HOW MANY WILL YOU THANK?” He further added.
