It's sad how most Pakistanis can’t even embrace their own skin colour: Zaid Ali

Pakistani-Canadian comedian shut down trolls criticising his wife

Pakistani-Canadian comedian Zaid Ali T tied the knot last year and is clearly head over heels for his significant other. The vlogger shared pictures of their wedding on social media, which caused quite a stir amongst his fans.

Recently, the couple announced that they are on their first trip to Pakistan together. Taking to Twitter, Zaid posted a picture with his wife and captioned it, "First time in Pakistan together."

While some people welcomed the couple with open arms, others criticised his wife, Yumna.

Zaid later took to Twitter to give a befitting reply, and wrote, "Read a comment today on my photo which said 'Your wife is ugly because of her dark skin'. It’s so upsetting how most Pakistanis can’t even embrace their own skin colour."

Read a comment today on my photo which said “Your wife is ugly because of her dark skin”. It’s so upsetting how most Pakistanis can’t even embrace their own skin colour.
