NEW DELHI. Pakistani actor
Saba Qamar was attacked by trolls after her personal photos were leaked online without her permission.
These pictures were taken while Saba was taking a cigarette break in the middle of a photoshoot.
Despite the unreasonable backlash, Saba chose to maintain a dignified silence, but Troll Slayer will not be as generous towards trolls.
Here’s how Saba was targeted and why her trolls need to be taught a lesson:Troll Attack 1: "Saba is following Mahira Khan, she smokes while wearing a skimpy dress"For the uninitiated, Mahira was slut-shamed after somebody leaked her private pictures where she was seen wearing backless dress and smoking in company of Indian actor
Ranbir Kapoor.
Yeah, you read it right. Both Mahira and Kapoor were smoking, yet it was the Pakistani actress’ smoking that irked misogynist haters.
Firstly, smoking is injurious to every gender’s health and not to women alone. Secondly, like Mahira, Saba is an adult, who is aware of how her choices might affect her health and she should be allowed the freedom to exercise them without being judged.
Troll Attack 2: “She isn’t a Muslim anymore, her pics are haram”, “Saba is spoiling Pakistan’s culture”By the same logic, actor
Salman Khan should have long ceased to be a Muslim. He takes off his shirt at the drop of a hat and by all accounts was a chain smoker for a long time. Yet nobody targets him for that. When a man smokes without a shirt on, that is seen as just fine, or even as ‘cool’. No outrage is seen there.
Saba is an actress and should be judged on her acting skills rather than on some flawed moral and religious logic.
Instead of slamming her, the outrage should be directed at the person who leaked Saba’s ‘Behind the Scenes’ photos without her consent. Just because Saba is a model, her body doesn’t become public property.
Troll Attack 3: “Her nipples are visible”Women having nipples is as normal as these sexually frustrated trolls having pea-sized brains.
Saba was apparently clicked in the middle of the shoot when she was changing her clothes. These perverted creeps should know, there is no technology in the world yet that allows one to change clothes without taking them off.
