She went on to speak about people’s “double standards” as on one hand everyone seems to promote women empowerment but on the other, they don’t hold back when it comes to shaming. "We talk about woman rights and freedom of whatever she wants for her and here in the comments section, people are saying things which should never be said."
She then decided to oppose all the people discrediting her through a live Facebook video where she can be seen lashing back at the haters.

The model echoed the need to educate the new generation rather than giving them exposure to social media without supervision. "We need to teach them that commenting on one's way of dressing, living and eating isn't our mission. We are moving towards a huge downfall and we need to lift ourselves as a nation first, instead of calling one names online," she added.

Khattak shared how she was kicked out of female bathrooms at airports for looking like a boy and how traffic police constables would harass her by pointing at her haircut. To all these incidents, she said, "I can't even drive safely on the roads now."

"I live on my own and I'm better than all the women calling me names because I'm educated, I earn well and I can provide for my kids and family in the future while these women will only complete their Matriculation and then get married," she exclaimed.
Concluding the bitter riot that has needlessly caused a storm, Khattak stated, "I'm not going to upload more statuses because you all are stuck with the choice of my haircut and can't think beyond this while I am more than what you see."
