Sharmila Faruqui Breaks Silence on Danish Taimoor Controversy, Backs Ayeza Khan

A prominent politician Sharmila Faruqui has publicly come to the defense of actress Ayeza Khan amidst the ongoing Danish Taimoor controversy. The matter, which sparked a storm on social media, revolves around Taimoor’s controversial remarks during the couple’s appearance on a talk show, which many viewers deemed disrespectful and dismissive toward his wife. Sharmila Faruqui, known for her outspoken nature and sharp social commentary, didn’t mince words when sharing her opinion on the situation.

While speaking on the talk show Har Lamha Purjosh, Faruqui openly criticized Danish Taimoor’s behavior, labeling his comments as “disgusting.” She expressed disappointment that such remarks were made in a public setting and emphasized how unfortunate it is that many women, even strong public figures like Ayeza Khan, often find themselves unable to respond freely due to societal pressure and expectations. Sharmila Faruqui acknowledged the immense grace and composure Ayeza displayed, saying she salutes her for sitting through the moment with dignity.

Faruqui further added that in a society like ours, women are often expected to silently endure their partner’s words, even if they are hurtful. “Ayeza Khan may not have responded on live television, but that doesn’t mean she agreed with what was said,” she stated. Urging men to be more considerate, Sharmila criticized Taimoor for not choosing silence over negativity. She also addressed the broader public response, suggesting that when celebrities remain silent, it becomes even more important for others to speak out and uphold respect.

With her remarks, Sharmila Faruqui has added a powerful voice to the ongoing discussion, reinforcing the need for public figures to set better examples—especially when it comes to respecting women on and off screen.
