The incident discussed publicly involved Fahad Mustafa responding to comments by Atiqa Odho about older male actors being paired with younger actresses. During a later TV appearance, Fahad Mustafa made a joking remark implying that actors should work only with her and suggested she could undergo cosmetic procedures to appear younger, which drew laughter from the audience.

Older male leads often continue to be cast opposite younger women.

When this pattern is criticized, responses sometimes shift toward the critic rather than the issue.

Appearance-focused remarks toward senior actresses are socially noticeable because they highlight how aging is judged differently for men and women.

In public discussions, this moment became less about one individual comment and more about how conversations on age, gender, and casting norms unfold in Pakistani media.

Dont forget this woman has always spoken against women's pain.

Whatever is happening to her. It's sad, we can sympathise however the damage she has caused to our society further is irreversible.

Dr nabiha, get professional help because this isnt the appropriate way to discuss your personal life.

Kashaf didn't accurately answer the individualism part and it sounded dismissive of mental health problems pf individuals who dont have a big family they can count on. Her intentions might be pure but they werent scientifically accurate.

This question has been studied in cross-cultural psychology and sociology for decades , and the honest answer is:
There is no strong evidence that “individualistic societies” inherently cause more depression than collectivist or socialist societies.

In conflict-affected or extreme poverty situations, the chronic stress, trauma, and loss of safety mechanisms create high rates of depressive disorders, often termed PTSD or chronic depression.

Viewing depression merely as a disease of affluent lifestyles leads to the neglect of mental health infrastructure in rural areas, leaving millions without access to care.

Poverty in Pakistan has surged to an 11-year high of 29 per cent, while income inequality has reached its highest level in 27 years, as people's real incomes and consumption nosedived during the past seven years, according to an official survey released by Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal on Friday.

The World Health Organization and global mental health research consistently identify:
Financial stress
Food insecurity
Unemployment
Debt burden
Lack of access to care
as major social determinants of depression and su***de risk.

Dear ,

When allegations surface , especially involving women, girls, or minors , the focus should always remain on safety and accountability, not reputation management.
In situations like this, general condemnations of harassment are important, but they are not the same as explicitly acknowledging the gravity of what is being alleged. When minors are mentioned, the language must become even clearer. Child safety is not a vague principle , it is a legal and moral threshold.
As a psychologist who works closely with women navigating harassment, coercion, and betrayal, I see how powerful public responses can be. Survivors don’t just listen for whether harassment is “condemned.” They listen for whether their specific reality is being named. Specificity communicates validation. Vagueness can feel like distance.
Distancing from an individual is a step. But distancing without directly acknowledging the nature of the harm being discussed can unintentionally shift the focus toward image protection rather than survivor-centered accountability.
Public figures , especially those affiliated with advocacy roles , carry amplified influence. Their words don’t just reflect personal boundaries; they model what responsibility looks like in moments of ethical tension.
This is not about demanding perfection. It is about understanding that power can change the narrative for lots of girls.
