Reddit Calls Out Ismail Darbar’s Regressive Comment On Gauahar Khan’s Work, Wants Nagma Mirajkar To ‘Run’!

Patriarchy is deeply rooted in society, and this somehow becomes evident in the comments made by some celebrities. Recently, Ismail Darbar has been caught up in this controversy after his rather regressive statements on his daughter-in-law Gauahar Khan’s work. As per him, his son Zaid Darbar has the right to ask Gauahar not to work, and this statement has given rise to a lot of backlash, as it should. Many people on Reddit have also reacted to this, and now they want Nagma Mirajkar to save herself from this patriarchy, too. Read on to know why!

Reddit Slams Ismail Darbar

Ismail Darbar, during an interview, commented on whether he watched Gauahar Khan’s work or not. He said that they come from a regressive background and therefore could not watch the bold works of Gauahar Khan. Ismail Darbar also added that it was not his space to interfere but if he did, he would confront her. He further added that the right to ask Gauahar to not work only belongs to Zaid Darbar, her husband.

During the interview, he also spoke highly of his wife for being a good wife and leaving behind her successful career as an actor. The video clips have surfaced on many social media handles, and Ismail Darbar has been slammed for being a misogynist for boldly accepting that their family was not in favour of women working post-marriage.

Now, on Reddit many people are also warning content creator Nagma Mirajkar to run! For the unversed, Nagma has been in a long relationship with professional dancer Awez Darbar, and they are also planning to get married. Redditors also were pissed at the regressive mentality where a woman is only expected to follow all kinds of restrictions after marriage.
