In a recent appearance on Iffat Omar's podcast, actress Faiza Gillani dished out her take on what feminism should really be about. "The people who are trying to raise a voice for women have no idea what is happening to women who are suffering. They [activists] have a comfortable lifestyle, but they cannot understand the depth of the problems being faced by the majority of women they are speaking up for," said the Serial Killer star.

Faiza maintained that she is a "very big feminist" but stressed that a change in the narrative is imperative. "We need to address the things that are being faced by the majority," she stated. "There are women who are being physically abused, being discriminated against, they are being denied an education, they are being blackmailed."

According to the actress, the crux of feminism is for a woman to make her own choices without facing judgment, whether it is with her clothing or something greater. "If I want to take a dupatta, that is my choice," she pointed out, dismissing the notion that dressing conservatively equates to being oppressed. "If I wear jeans, that is also my choice. Please don't tell me how to live my life. And please don't tell me who to love and who to hate. That comes from my side."
