Actor and comedian, Yasir Hussain spoke out against the depiction of violence against women in TV shows.<\/p>\n

Yasir appeared as a guest on the FWhy Podcast, where he highlighted the stereotyping of women on TV drama serials, which show them as being subservient and accepting of abuse could shape the minds of viewers, particularly men, in a harmful way.<\/p>\n

According to the Badshah Begum <\/em><\/strong>star, there is a lack of censorship for TV shows compared to films, which has allowed for the normalization of this harmful content, which can have dangerous implications for society.<\/p>\n\t\t

Yasir stated that this was a problem that was not being addressed by the country’s censor board, which is currently focused primarily on film censorship. He talked about stereotyping of women through their dressing, stating,<\/p>\n

I am involved in an industry where if you want to show a modern girl, her hair will be short and she\u2019ll be wearing jeans and a t-shirt. This is the criteria for being modern. I\u2019ve met a lot of modern women who wear shalwar kameez<\/em>, their thinking and actions are very modern but they wear shalwar<\/em> kameez<\/em> \u2014 it doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He went on to add that “if you want to show a lying, corrupt woman in a drama, her hair will also be short and she\u2019ll be a smoker.” While on the other hand, Yasir stated that all the female characters he’s written have been “very strong”.<\/p>\n\n
