KARACHI: Famous Pakistani actress and writer, Yasra Rizvi in a recent interview, has proudly declared herself a feminist since the age of six or seven.
In her most recent interview, Yasra Rizvi said, “Whether you take a look at my acting projects, written productions or even personal life, all reflect my feminist inclinations”.
She further emphasized her stance to audiences clarifying that she doesn’t require the term “feminist” as a license to live life according to her own set of rules.
The actress said that she didn’t simply ascribe to feminism as a tag after starring in the drama series Churails, she has been a feminist since the age of six or seven before she even knew what the term meant.
“Feminism is basically a mindset which implies that everyone, whether it be man, woman or a transgender person; should all enjoy equality in society, freedom and civil liberties, and this should go without saying,” Rizvi added, adding nobody’s right to chose for themselves should be tampered with.

The young actress has been vocal in breaking stereotypes of society with her art and acting skills. Rizvi undoubtedly gave a stunning performance in her latest released series Churails that was praised by the film critics and at some point, hated for its bold content.
The Ayesha star recently opened up about addressing the issues of misconceptions that actors face in Pakistan for their negative portrayal in dramas or films.
Taking the issue to social media, the bold Churails actor said, “Actors who play characters of rapists and murderers are not actually rapists and murderers. They are not condoning or justifying such actions in real life by playing said characters.”
