In a recent turn of events, actress Humaima Malick, who is gearing up for the release of Bilal Lashari’s The Legend of Maula Jutt, took to social media and shared how she suffered in silence for so many years. This comes right after Fatema Sohail, wife of actor and singer Mohsin Abbas Haider, who recently spoke up about her husband’s abusive behaviour towards her.
“Although it has been years, but all these years and the pain filled days and nights still haunt me. I was only 19-20 year-old miserable young girl who couldn’t even share my screaming wounds with my family,” shared Humaima on her Instagram story.
According to the actress, who was previously married to actor and director Shamoon Abbasi, she is ashamed of herself for not speaking up against this menace called domestic violence. “I am shameful of myself today. I didn’t do anything for myself in 3 years of abusive marriage, 7 years of another abusive relationship and it repeated again,” she added.
Humaima Malick, who last appeared in Shaan Shahid’s directorial, Arth - The Destination in 2017, further wrote: “While I was working, making a good life for myself and my entire family, I was threatened, abused, and beaten to death not once but many times. I am not scared anymore. I am now shameful of silence. #nomoresilence.”
The Legend of Maula Jatt producer, Ammara Hikmat also endorsed Humaima’s story and said, “You are a very brave woman. I witnessed it firsthand and glad you pulled yourself out of it.”
More power to Humaima!
