Sadaf Kanwal’s comments on feminism have disappointed supporters on Twitter. She said, “Our husbands are our culture”, which has left many readers puzzled.
Sadaf Kanwal’s comments on feminism
Sadaf, model cum actor, married Shahroz Sabzwari in May 2020. They seem to have a happy marriage. Her recent statements show she is a devoted wife at least. Sadaf Kanwal’s comments on feminism revealed her true feelings about hubby. She said that since she is Sherry’s wife, she knows where his things are. And she is also aware of his eating routine and what goes on his plate. This is because she is a ‘woman’ and women in Pakistani culture know these things. She feels, even if Sherry is unaware of these details, it matters more that she has ‘grown up seeing this’.
In her opinion in feminism…’people are liberals’. For her ‘feminism is me taking care of a man, my husband and respecting him and doing whatever I can, whatever I have been taught’. In this interview to ARY, she clearly stated that ‘Our husbands are our culture’.

Twitter’s backlash
According to one Twitter user, Sadaf is behaving like a woman who ‘uses feminism and patriarchy intermittently to benefit herself financially and personally’. Another user commented that she is naming a culture where ‘the husband has to be cared for like a toddler by his wife’. Some likened her to ‘Khalil ur Rehman Qamar’, the controversial writer who came into a brawl with a feminist supporter on media. Some made up memes to make fun of her. Many felt that she trivialized the feminism movement to a few household chores.
Another user implored, ‘When you don’t know the definition of feminism…start rambling about ironing your husband’s clothes. EPIC!’
