The Actor, director Yasir Hussain recently made an appearance on Frieha’s F Why podcast to discuss a range of issues, including but not limited to comedians being looked down upon in Pakistani society, stereotyping of women on Pakistani television, and the importance of mental health awareness.

When Frieha acknowledged how Yasir has in recent times, spoken up for women’s rights, and is usually under the radar for his slapstick comebacks and outspoken nature, Yasir detailed how he gets it from his father. “My father was like that too. He was friends with poets, he was very social and straightforward.

Society has become weird now. I mean, people had always been. Now, it’s either a compliment or a bad thing. Similarly, if someone is good to his wife, like if I’m good to my wife, I’m not doing anything extraordinary. Like you just introduced by calling me a good husband but I think that should be the norm.”
