Ushna Shah admits to passing sexist remark to the pizza delivery boy

Pakistani actress Ushna Shah was under hot waters after she passed ‘demeaning’ and ‘sexist’ comments to a pizza delivery guy at 2:30 a.m.

Ushna tweeted,

“mard banein” (be a man), “aap ek chaar saal ki bachi nahee hai”, (you are not a four-year-old girl) and “mardaangi peida karein” (try to be manly).

“Marrd banein”, “aap ek chaar saal ki bachi nahee hein”, “mardaangi peida Karein” – some of the sexist & demeaning things I said 2 my 2:30AM Pizza delivery guy 2 convince him 2 bring pizza inside as I held my barking & growling Pitbull back.

Her tweets sparked quite the controversy and people were coming for her:

I don’t know who you are, but you manifest the ugliness of the Pakistani elite.

There are people who do not like being sniffed and kissed by animals. Humans have rights too.

Dog Phobia is really bad! I know I start getting really nervous/scared when one comes near me. And Even though I feel like I dont want to offend the owner so I try to stay calm I wouldnt want them forcing it on me either. Thats not how you desensitize a phobia

2nd part of this story should be you going to find him at his workplace, apologize like you mean it preferably with a token of your regret, and never do anything like that ever again. And don't subject anyone to your growling pitbull, imagine being on the other end of that.

But instead of apologizing, Ushna explained people by a thread of tweets about what actually had happened. She tweeted,

To everybody crying about my rant to the pizza guy. I was holding the dog. He refused to come in. The first ten minutes of “mera waada hei kuch nahi Hota”, “meina pakra hua hei issey please guzar jayein” “bahadur baneyin Shahbash” didn’t work.

But that was not enough for the people, so Ushna decided to write a 5 pages note and admitted that she passed a sexist remark, but still did not apologize
