Mariyam Nafees Hits Back at Intrusive Fan Question

Popular Pakistani actor Mariyam Nafees recently lost her temper after being asked a highly personal question about her family planning during a Q\&A session on Instagram, responding with a sharp retort that has since gone viral.

During an interactive “Ask Me Anything” session with her fans on Instagram, the Jaan-e-Jahan star was asked when she plans to have a second child—just two months after giving birth to her first son. Visibly frustrated by the intrusive nature of the question, Nafees clapped back, asking, “Why? Are you a midwife?” Her curt response struck a chord with many followers, especially women who praised her for setting boundaries on such a private matter.

She further expressed her dismay at the repetitive nature of such questions, writing, “It’s unbelievable the amount of people asking this question. When will all of us learn?” The comment highlighted the often unspoken pressures faced by women in the public eye, especially regarding motherhood and personal life decisions.

Mariyam Nafees married filmmaker Amaan Ahmed in March 2022. The couple announced their first pregnancy in November last year and welcomed their baby boy, Syed Eesa Amaan Ahmed, in March. Sharing the news with fans, she posted heartwarming photos of the newborn on Instagram, captioning, “Our world just got a lot more handsome! Welcome to the world, baby boy. May you live your dreams, Ameen.”

This incident has reignited conversations online about the boundaries celebrities deserve, even when they open up moments of their lives on social platforms. Mariyam’s bold response serves as a reminder that personal questions, no matter how well-intentioned, can cross a line.
