On Monday, Popular host and RJ, Anoushey Ashraf penned down a heartfelt caption with snapshots of her DM on her Instagram. Women across the world had left Anoushey compliments wholeheartedly that lifted her spirits.
Ashraf said, “MEN compliment me, and it certainly feels great. But when women compliment me, it uplifts my spirit and soul. These messages have come to me over the last two days from ladies around the world.”
She continued, “They specially wrote to me to appreciate me and give me love. They took the time out to let someone know they’re talented and inspiring. Non-physical compliments also feel so good sometimes. I feel like I have a bigger support system of sisters I haven’t even met but wanted each one of them to know how grateful I am for you.”
Today we do see that women are pitted against each other. However, beyond that, big supportive communities of women are still intact, and Ashraf’s DMs are proof.
“Women do not always pull each other down.” – Anoushey Ashraf
She continued, “They (women) do not always get jealous of each other. These are mere misconceptions. People dislike one another; people are sometimes jealous of one another, irrespective of their gender. These messages are proof.”
According to Ashraf, the stereotype that ‘Aurat hi aurat ki dushman hoti hai’ is nothing more than a misconception. People can dislike people all the time and move on with their lives peacefully irrespective of their gender.
She then addressed men and women, “To the men who love me and my work, I’m so very thankful for you. To the women who do the same, I wish I could hug each of you. This means a lot. Hiding names of these gorgeous women because I haven’t taken their consent, this is a VERY spontaneous post. ❤️❤️❤️”
