YouTuber Rajab Butt is facing criticism on social media after making remarks about actress Durefishan Saleem during a podcast appearance.
During Ahmad Ali Butt’s podcast, Rajab described Durefishan as “chubby”, which sparked criticism over his inappropriate remarks and the normalisation of body-shaming and objectifying women in the name of humour.
In a series of posts, one social media user wrote, “The sexualisation of women disguised as humour needs to be STUDIED. Why do men get on such platforms and embarrass themselves like this?”
