In recent interview actor Arez Ahmed spoke strongly about value of financially independent women. Entrepreneur and author is of opinion that woman's financial independence is essential to both her own personal development and fulfilment as well as to society at large.

Actor noted in recent interview with Rabia Mughni, "Women put up with abuse because they are financially reliant on it. It's crucial for woman to be financially independent in relationship. I think lady who is financially independent would never put up with her husband abusing her."

"I feel merely financial independence is not enough for women's protection because most women have to deal with harsh attitudes due to their high salaries and they have to put in more effort to preserve their houses," his wife Hiba Bukhari continued. Deewangi actress said that "Parents do not let their daughters be financially independent because they fear that it would make them arrogant," in support of her husband's point of view. Financial autonomy for women ensures security. It doesn't mean that they're conceited, she said.
