Alizeh Sultan Opens Up About Life’s Struggles, Challenges Societal Norms on Gendered Responsibilities

Islamabad:Frustration is a common emotion that should not be suppressed, according to Alizeh Sultan. In a candid conversation with her followers, the influencer shared her personal journey and called for a shift in societal attitudes towards women’s responsibilities.

“If you feel like crying, just cry and let your tears flow. Society needs to change its approach of placing the entire burden on mothers. Fathers are equally responsible, and it’s not fair to leave everything to the woman,” Elize stated.

Once married to actor Feroze Khan, Alizeh’s marriage and sudden divorce captured public attention. Despite the challenges, she has remained steadfast, now raising her two children on her own, while Feroze Khan shares parental responsibilities.

Elize, known for her openness, discussed her journey through youth marriage, divorce before the age of 30, and facing life’s hardships. During a recent Q\&A session, she spoke candidly about the emotional toll of these experiences. “I cry too, and frustration is as real an emotion as happiness. Suppressing it only weakens our resilience, and that’s something I’ve experienced,” she said.

She also pointed out that society’s pressure for women to always stay strong is unjust. Her words resonated with many, especially women, who praised her courage and honesty. Alizeh’s story sparked renewed discussions on why household responsibilities are often placed solely on women.
