Saheefa Jabbar Khattak, a renowned Pakistani actress, is known for her confident demeanor and willingness to speak out on various topics without hesitation.
This time the actress took to her Instagram story and strongly condemns local media for their shallow portrayal of women, particularly calling out an article about Dananeer Mobeen that focused on her age rather than her work and accomplishments.
In the shared story, the lady expressed her exasperation by posting a screenshot of the article regarding Dananeer Mobeen along with a powerful message overlaid on it.
The story reads:
“And yet, her craft wasn’t discussed nor were her achievements as an artist or how she worked on herself to reach where she is today. Instead, we are focusing on and making headlines about her ageing. Have we truly lost our minds? What kind of publications are these?”
Safeefa’s post underscored a crucial problem in media portrayal, noting the tendency to prioritize women's looks over their professional accomplishments.
The actress's remarks shed light on the oversight of Dananeer's work and successes, urging for a change in media stories that spotlight women's careers and skills instead of their physical attributes.
