Nazish Jahangir opened up about feminist movement in Pakistan. Disassociating herself from "Orthodox feminism," Berukhi actress asserted that she does not believe Aurat March has any positive impact on society and that such movements are reason behind an increase in divorces.

Jahangir spoke her heart out in an appearance on Nadir Ali's. "I am not an orthodox feminist, l believe in equality and I still confidently say that not all crying women are truthful. I am always standing with right person whether it is woman or man," she said, giving examples of how she still lives with haunting memory of professor who committed suicide after being accused of harassment.  She added that Noor Muqaddam's innocent face still horrifies her and she wants culprit to be rightfully punished. However, she does not think Aurat March is solution to any of these problems. "I wonder who they are protesting for then. Are they protesting for us? Because our league knows everything about it. We know our rights and we know value of equality.
