KARACHI: Pakistani actress Hina Afridi has responded strongly to critics who targeted her over the jewelry she wore at her nikkah ceremony.
The actress recently appeared on the comedy show Hansna Mana Hai hosted by Tabish Hashmi, where she took part in various games and answered questions from the audience while also speaking about her marriage.
During the program, a female audience member asked Hina Afridi how she dealt with the criticism surrounding her nikkah jewelry.
Responding to the question, the actress said she paid little attention to the criticism. “If people didn’t like my jewelry, that’s their problem, not mine,” she remarked, adding that newlyweds are usually too busy with wedding rituals to spend time checking social media.
Tabish Hashmi also referred to a viral video from her nikkah in which she was seen jokingly demanding a monthly allowance of Rs500,000, business-class travel and other privileges from her husband.
Reacting to the clip, Hina Afridi said it is every woman’s right to ask for anything from her husband. She added humorously that people are still unaware of the demands she made off-camera. “If they hear those, they might be shocked,” she joked.
