The entertainment industry is rallying behind Aliza Sultan after bruised photographs of her emerged online along with a medical report detailing her injuries. The documents were submitted by her lawyers to a Karachi family court in a custody case filed by her ex-husband and actor Feroze Khan.
In an Instagram post in September, Sultan accused Khan of abuse and infidelity while announcing their divorce. Details recently emerged of a court hearing in which her legal team submitted documents after Khan requested the court to restrain Sultan from sharing details of the case on social media. The documents were shared as proof that she was not lying on social media, her lawyer told Images.
These documents have resulted in an outpouring of support from members of the entertainment industry, including from some of her ex-husband’s co-stars.
Mariyam Nafees
Actor Mariyam Nafees was among the first celebrities to share the news. She shared a Geo article on domestic abuse on her Instagram stories that included Sultan’s photos and documents proving that she had been abused.
“I’m sorry people attacked you when you spoke your truth. I’m sorry that people knowingly stayed quiet. So sorry you had to go through this Aliza Sultan Khan. Stay strong, we’re with you! Allah is with you.”
With a photo of the hospital documents, Nafees asked why “do we raise voice only when they’re dead? Why do we blame them when they manage to escape?”
She compared Sultan with Sarah Inam, a Canadian national who was killed in Islamabad on September 23, and highlighted the “selective sympathy” and victim blaming prevalent, suggesting that people must “learn to call people out when they’re exposed.”
Osman Khalid Butt
Chupke Chupke actor Osman Khalid Butt shared Nafees’s tweet and with a trigger warning and said he hoped and prayed that Sultan gets the justice she deserves. Read More…
