Women should raise voices for rights while staying at home, not on streets: Maya Ali

Actress Maya Ali has opened about supporting the aurat march that she strongly believes in women’s rights but a woman should raise her voice for her rights while staying at home rather than going on the streets.

“I do respect every woman’s right but I think that it is better than a woman should raise her voice for her rights while staying at home rather than going on streets or somewhere else,” said Maya.

Maya has always supported the narrative of empowerment but for her heading to the streets is not the right way to put forward one’s demands, according to her. “Many women would find her views on Aurat March problematic because the voices of many women are suppressed in their own homes. And the same women have to take to the streets to claim their rights,” she said.

Maya also shuts down relationship rumours with co-stars, “When we were at the premiere of Parey Hut Love, people called us (She and Sheheryar) a ‘Filmy Jodi’ which, for me, was a compliment. But this does not mean I will limit myself to only be seen with Sheheryar. From all the actors whom I have worked with, I absolutely adore Bilal Abbas.”
