Ahmed Ali Butt has clarified whether he is a feminist or not years after his initial reaction to the annual Aurat March made headlines.
Ahmed answered the burning question while talking to his long-time friend Vasay Chaudhry on his show Ghabrana Mana Hai. When asked whether he is a feminist, Ahmed replied, “To some extent…”
When asked how that relates to feminism, Ahmed answered that he has learned to respect women since he was a kid because he was raised by very strong women; his grandmother is the legendary late Madam Noor Jehan and his mother is Zille Huma.
“60% of feminism is auto built in me,” he said.
What about the other 40% then? The Jawani Phir Nahi Aani star explained how that comprises of what is ‘exploited’ by people who chant slogans like “Apni roti khud pakao (Make your own bread).”
“The 40% (against feminism) is against the man-hating movement in the name of feminism,” he added, reiterating it again that he is against “man-hating speech”.
The actor also talked about other things during the interview, from flying business class to getting caught red-handed by his wife.
