Know your rights, study them well: Sanam Saeed on domestic violence

Actor shows her support for Feroze Khan's ex-wife Aliza Sultan

Ever since Aliza Sultan submitted evidence in court of having suffered abuse at the hands of her ex-husband and actor Feroze Khan, domestic violence has become the centre of conversation on social media. Many celebrities, including Yasir Hussain, Iqra Aziz, and Osman Khalid Butt have voiced their thoughts on abuse. Joining them, Sanam Saeed has also shared her perspective on the sensitive matter.

While sharing a post on October being the month of awareness for domestic violence, the Zindagi Gulzar Hai actor expressed the "irony" of the situation. She also advised women to educate themselves about their "rights" and to "study" them. She said, "Know you're rights. Study them well."

Sanam then concluded her note by expressing solidarity with Aliza and other victims of abuse. "In support of Aliza Sultan and countless other women," she shared.

The irony…
Know you’re rights. Study them well.
