Thread on Why I am Boycotting
#TeefaInTrouble
1) Even if I’m the only one boycotting Ali Zafar, I feel better about not supporting a harasser. It sends a message that sexual predatory behavior is NOT okay and one should be held accountable for their malicious actions.
How is this lady taken seriously as a journalist? You are privileged with a famous yt channel, celebs are gonna be nice to you. Let us not invalidate someones experience because Sana was “nice” to you. There have been multiple accounts about Sana being rude, you can’t ignore that
@Something_Haute
@IamSanaJaved
I’ve done one editorial fashion shoot with her and she was no trouble at all. It was a Sania Maskatiya shoot by Rizwan Ul Haq.
@adnanactor
@ShehryarAfridi1
why did you feel the need to tell us that you were on your way “to get a customised fragrance” lmaoo
And every consulate has the country’s flag outside whether it’s Pakistan or Zimbabwe.
Whatever happens, Saba Qamar and Sajal Aly will undoubtedly be the best actresses from Pakistan. Their ability to portray characters from all walks of life, whether they are happy or sad, rich or poor, is unmatched.
this idiot
@adnanactor
who scolds people for the smallest things didn’t hold rauf Lala for the disgusting misogyny he was spewing. Are you kidding me?!

@AuratCard
The women are so brilliant and smart. In a patriarchal + male-dominated cyberspace they speak so eloquently on all topics concerning Pakistani women. Also they speak in Urdu so the videos are accessible to women of all social scenes. Thank u for existing!
All these men revealing themselves one at a time.. never once have men been accused of being too old for acting.
Mahira Khan is our (biggest) ONLY internationally known star to deny her achievements is ridiculous.
Really disappointed in Sajal Aly for choosing to do a Fair and Lovely ad when colorism is an obvious issue in our society.
People with darker skin are given poorer treatment, rejected for marriage, jobs, considered lower-class, etc.

@mayaali07
's tone-deaf saying Ali didn’t harass her so he can’t be a harasser. I’m really glad he didn’t harass you and you didn’t have to live with the agony of being harassed by one of the biggest stars in Pakistan. So happy for you, Maya.
#boycottteefaintrouble
6) Plus, everyone working on Teefa In Trouble have already been paid. Their work is done. So boycotting is not unfair to them but it is unfair to
@itsmeeshashafi
and the other 6-7 girls who are still dealing with the aftermath of the harassment.
#boycottteefaintrouble
2) The Boycott against Teefa in Trouble is small. The Boycott is not making large waves because our society forgives men for harassment because we live in a patriarchal society that questions any actions a woman makes.
#boycottteefaintrouble
Mehwish Hayat has always had the same stance on Bollywood and India not showing Pakistani movies but yall were too busy criticizing her for Billi.
This was her in March of last year at the Filmfare Middle East Launch.
Why are you acting like people are one-dimensional? We can feel for our Palestinians brothers/sisters and still take time to partake in our holiest holiday. Shut up with your self-righteousness. Youre the same person who said youd work with a misogynist if given the right script.
Better than seeing men beating their wives in front of people and no one intervening to stop them, little kids getting harassed on the streets and being told “tum wahan gayi/gay kyun thi/thay,” men peeing or adjusting boners in public. Yall ALWAYS concentrating on the wrong thing
So proud of Sonya Hussyn for refusing Meray Pass Tum Ho.
She states, I can’t be part of a show that projects women in a negative light, we’re already shown poorly! 👏🏽
3) The same people who didn't believe in Pakistan’s judicial system's are now saying we should leave it up to the court. Innocent till proven guilty. Why because its your fav that's involved?
#boycottteefaintrouble
4) Maya Ali's statements in support of
@AliZafarsays
shows that she's an apologist. Yes, its
@mayaali07
's first movie but she’s still getting main leads. She’s the lead actress in Paray Hut Love. so boycotting, is not damaging to her career.
#boycottteefaintrouble
9) Lets talk about all the PR
@AliZafarsays
has been doing since Meesha Shafi spoke up:
1) Started the Ali Zafar Foundation for “women’s rights”
2) Spread rumors that Meesha Shafi is in Canada, when there is literal footage of her at
@pepsipakistan
#boycottteefaintrouble
8)
@AliZafarsays
personality has totally changed in interviews since he has been accused. calmer, lets his female costars speak, doesn’t make perverted comments.
9) created dozens of fake accounts defending Ali and targeting those supporting Meesha Shafi.
#boycottteefaintrouble
I’m soooo looking forward to seeing Sanam Baloch act in Alif!!
She’s literally one of our finest actors and should be an A-lister but it’s sad how she continued her career and people just sort of forgot how great of an actor she was.
#Dastaan
#Daam
5) Playing the Family Card: never shown his wife publicly on any shows but now Ayesha is on tv.
6) Ali Zafar + Patari vs Faris Shafi. literally ruining people’s career
7) Forcing
@mangobaaz
+ other websites to take down any articles against
@AliZafarsays
#boycottteefaintrouble
I feel so suffocated watching everyone bullying Anum. This needs to be addressed
Aqeel, Dania, and Humna mock her speech, laugh whenever she talks, and spread rumors, like accusing her of stealing sugar without proof. They gaslight her whenever she defends herself.
#Tamasha3
How fucken disgusting is Saboor Aly and Saheefa Khattak’s comments on the window cleaner. What’s the point of being educated?
He was doing his job, providing your rich ass a service then being mocked for the same service. so pissed off.
Not to be Yasir Husain about this but how do you except us to not be angry at the treatment of our stars when a SIDE character on a FOREIGN show gets to be the face of a major designer and one of our BIGGEST actresses is blurred out and on the sideline?
#mariab
#ayezakhan
Let’s talk about how Pakistani films are trying to recreate really bad Bollywood movies from the early 2000s. And not investing in genz or being inspired by other successful industries. Young girls have always predicted what’s going to be popular.
Can you guys just acknowledge your privilege ffs. It’s not hard to say, “yes it was easier for me to get recognized in the industry because of my father.”
Being an actor is different than being a doctor/soldier.. it’s takes years of practice and SKILL to become one. like?
Popular theatre and television actor
#AhadRazaMir
recently appeared on a talk show with Anas Bukhash and spoke of things he never even thought about before.
#etribune
#etlifeandstyle
For more:
Hamza Abbasi, Gohar Rasheed, Faris Shafi and Humaima Malick were SOO good!!!! Please watch this movie!! Not a single dull moment!!!
#TheLegendOfMaulaJatt
3) Saying
@itsmeeshashafi
missed court hearings when Meesha’s lawyer Nighat Dad said Meesha is not required to go to the hearings.
4) Saying
@AliZafarsays
sent a notice to Meesha, when Nighat Dad has said no notice has been sent.
#boycottteefaintrouble
7) All the money that will be made from the cinemas goes to Ali Zafar’s production house. So again, how is it damaging anyone else’s career?
#TeefaInTrouble
#boycottteefaintrouble
We shouldn't have to rely on the uncut to understand why contestants act a certain way. It should complement the show, not replace it. After 3 years, they still haven't figured out how to edit properly. I lose patience watching for 1 hour, let alone sitting through 24.
#tamasha3
It’s so hard for me to buy Mahira Khan in anything, she’s so hyper aware of the camera regardless of the role and her off-screen personality comes through in all her roles.
Asim Azhar refuses to call Hadiqa Kiani a legend but names all male artists as someone he looks upto.
Hadiqa has been the only female pop artist releasing music when people had stopped. She has so many hits under her belt. Stop refusing women their achievements!
#tonitewithhsy
There’s no way Sadaf Kanwal thinks she actually won over
@manshapasha
over that statement.
Since when are clothes and style valued more than intelligence and being aware of issues???
Pakistani film industry needs to train actors to be better dancers.
Only Sohai Ali Abro, Mahira Khan and Mehwish Hayat can actually dance.
#AyaLariye
is just yikes 🤐
#jpna2
The way you all fell for it and now blame her? This is a common pr move in most places before a release. You all need to get checked for your jealousy towards Hania aamir.
If it’s true, I don’t understand how you replace one of our finest actress (Sanam Baloch) with an expressionless actress who mumbles all her dialogues (
@KubraMKhan
).
Seriously annoyed. What is Hum Tv doing?
#alif
why do sajal aly and ahad raza mir fans need confirmation every few months on whether they are together or not? it’s so toxic, you guys are JUST fans. if they do ever break up, the nagging will definitely be one of the many reason.
I have not seen a more beautiful bride. And this makeup is perfection.
No hideous glitter shadow
No churail winged eyeliner
No caterpillar style lashes
No cake face
No harsh contour lines
This look is stunning. And it is timeless. And you know what? It suits everyone.
Y’all going to be mad at
#KhalilurRehman
for two days and then he’ll be seen writing for Hum or Humayun Saeed’s next project.
the fact that men are misogynists openly is because your country has allowed that.
y’all hate women. there is no justice.
5) Ahsan Rahim has been working in this industry for a longgg time, he’s known. he’s already mentioning in interviews that his team is working on other projects. So again, 10 people refusing to see Teefa, is not damaging to his career either.
#boycottteefaintrouble
Hamza Ali Abbasi visited Mahira Khan on the sets of Superstar but had no objection to the song
#Noori
when it has major elements of an item number?
Seductive looks + lyrics, dancing in front of men, shaking hips..I mean, is this all forgiven because she’s his friend?
#Hypocrite
not
@aamnaisani
saying korean dramas also show men hitting women. yes, they’re both patriarchal societies but the difference is Pakistani dramas justify violence and the man is seen as the hero and forgiven without any remorse. Kdramas almost never forgive violence towards women.
the fact that hum tv is run by women baffles me. that’s why you shouldn’t just praise CEOs or “women bosses” when they do nothing to empower other women or oppressed people.
#humstyleawards
So many good looking and young actors in Pakistan are being casted in terrible dramas with old plots, no characterizations and terrible messages for the audience.
Please stop wasting their talent and take risks in storytelling.

ALLOWS the transgender women to identify/label herself rather the society telling her who she is.
8) Amna Ilyas aka Ghazala isn't shown as man-hating feminist, she's tired of macho men but finds herself liking Tipu because he is sincere.
