Malala only gets paid to take pictures with international artists: Mathira calls activist hypocrite

The famous TV host took to Instagram and shared some thoughts about the youngest Nobel prize laureate's visit to UNGA

Malala Yousafzai took the centre stage at the United Nations General Assembly to highlight the need for girls' education. The youngest Nobel Prize Laureate took to Instagram and shared her speech as well. 

She also met several activists including Bollywood actor Priyanka Chopra. The UNICEF ambassador, who also gave an address at the event, shared some pictures with Malala on her Instagram feed. 

However, not everyone was impressed by the 24-year-old's incredible feat. Famous TV host Mathira took to Instagram and shared few thoughts about Malala. 

"Malala only gets paid to take pictures with international artists and talks about Pakistan when she does not even live in Pakistan," she wrote on her Instagram Story while sharing a picture of Malala and Priyanka. "She didn't even manage to visit Pakistan when half of Pakistan was drowning and then talks about the struggle in these fancy meets and greet."

She concluded her stance with, "Weird stuff, this girl is such a hypocrite."

However, on the other hand, singer Momina Mustehsan who attended the event took to social media and shared a picture with Malala after the latter's speech. "Girl with a heart of gold," the Afreen Afreen singer captioned the photo.

The activist added, "On that day, leaders, corporations, civil society — all of us — committed to working together to see every child in school by 2030. Yet halfway to that target date, we are facing an education emergency."

Malala concluded with, "I hope, in another seven years, we will speak to you again. But instead of urging you to help us, we’ll be cheering and celebrating the progress you’ve made for girls."
