Mathira calls out Pakistan’s unrealistic expectations for female stars

Model, actress, and TV host Mathira recently spoke out against the unrealistic beauty standards and body shaming prevalent in Pakistan. In a candid podcast interview, she addressed various social issues, including the harsh comments directed at overweight individuals.

Mathira emphasized that Pakistan is unique in its obsession with fair-skinned heroines who are expected to have tiny waists and a size zero figure. She highlighted that every person's body is different and that being critical of someone’s weight is unnecessary and harmful.

The actress pointed out that women, in particular, face numerous weight-related challenges due to hormonal fluctuations and menstrual cycles. She criticized the tendency of some TV personalities to show pictures of individuals and comment on their weight, urging people to be more understanding of the complexities involved.
