Shoaib Malik Asserts: “You Can’t Limit Your Sisters to Just Giving Birth and Cooking”

In a candid interview on Shaista Lodhi’s podcast, Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik revealed his tumultuous relationships and the challenges he faced in establishing better boundaries due to his busy life as a sportsman. Shoaib underscored the significance of maintaining a balanced emotional approach.

He said, “If you’re in a relationship and keep saying yes to everything, eventually, this will hit you very badly.”

“I was always on the go,” the former cricket captain offered. “When you’re living like that, you don’t think much. You just nod along, immersed in your work and you don’t realise it then. Instead of saying yes to everything, I should have communicated,” he added.

He added how better communication would have helped him navigate various relationships, including his friends and family. As per Shoaib, men should strive for gender equality in all spheres of life. He stated, “My advice to men would be to maintain equality in your relationships because that makes life a lot easier.”

Shoiab continued, “They [men] don’t have to think too deeply about this…They shouldn’t tell their sisters that they would soon marry and move to a new household where they only have to cook. Or that things will always adhere to what their in-laws dictate.” Shoaib expressed his disapproval of the restricted life set aside for women.

“Sure, respect them to your fullest but you can’t tell your sisters that their only job is to give birth, cook meals, and do house cleaning. This should not be the way at all,” he reiterated his message to men.
