Sharing Alia Bhatt’s Instagram story, Zara mentioned that she can relate to Alia’s experience and said that brands wanted to drop her after she announced her pregnancy. In her post, she wrote, “And I thought only Pakistan thinks like this, specially when brands wanted to drop me off when they got know I was expecting. Becoming pregnant and being an actress makes the society feel you are not GOOD for work anymore. Well, guess what, women are good enough for everything and anything and it’s time the DICTATORS realise so. And we don’t have to prove our motherhood and craft to any patriarchy.”
