Ushna Shah is one of the most badass actresses we have around. Apart from being supremely talented, she’s also one of the most outspoken women in the Pakistani media industry.
Here are just some of the times Ushna has made womankind proud:
1. When she called out people for pretending to be super righteous during the month of fasting, Ramazan
Ushna called out all the ‘hypocrites’ in the industry who act like d*cks all year round and then turn over a whole new leaf for the month of Ramazan.
2. When she didn’t let anyone dictate what she wore
While she has faced a lot of flack for the way she dresses up, she doesn’t really let any of it get to her head.
3. And basically wore whatever she pleased
As she’s always done and made us so proud.
4. The time she purposefully put up an ‘oh-my-God-super-revealing’ picture of hers
That made half the population of the country go Astaghfirullah, but she stuck to her own and was actually super proud of just being herself. A lesson all of us should learn from her.
5. When she stood up to her stalker and exposed him in the best way possible
The man followed her for a really long time and kept pursuing her even after she switched her camera on.
6. When she couldn’t give two hoots about her super-chic cameo song in Punjab Nahi Jaungi
There were a lot of people pointing fingers and raising objections but she wasn’t affected.
7. When she refuted rumors that were doing the rounds about her and an affair with Humayun Saeed
8. When she showed the world that being yourself is literally the best thing you can be
9. When she danced like a pro in Alif, Allah, Aur Insaan
10. When she was just unapologetically herself
11. When she literally just slayed all over her haters
She’s broken stereotypes more than a couple of times. She’s stood up to those trying to bring her down. And she’s also never let haters phase her. She is also one of the most respected actresses, because not only does her work prove how good she is, everyone knows they can’t bring her down no matter how hard they try.
Slay on, Ushna! And keep making us proud. :’)
