Nazish Jahangir deems physical violence unacceptable in relationships

Prolific actor Nazish Jahangir emphasised her stance against physical violence in relationships, regardless of whether it is initiated by a man or a woman.

During a recent podcast, she articulated her belief in equality, asserting that both men and women hold equal responsibility for their actions, especially in cases of domestic violence. 

Nazish stated, "If my brother mistreats my sister-in-law, he is responsible, and if my sister-in-law mistreats my brother, she is equally accountable for her actions.”

Speaking out against domestic abuse, she underscored the importance of avoiding violence in relationships, maintaining that disagreements are inevitable but should be addressed through verbal communication or by choosing to leave the situation rather than resorting to harm.

Expressing her dismay, the 'Kalank' actor observed a recurring pattern in society where couples reconcile despite toxicity and violence in the relationship, mirroring the narratives often shown in dramas.

She suggested that when faced with toxicity or infidelity in a relationship, “it is better to gracefully exit rather than internalising stress, causing harm, and inadvertently becoming the centre of attention in an unwarranted drama.”

Nazish Jahangir disclosed that she grappled with PTSD forten years  following her mother's demise when she was just fifteen. Despite the vulnerability that came with losing her mother at a young age, she credited her strength to the upbringing she received from society and the people around her.

Sharing her journey, the 'Berukhi' actor mentioned facing numerous life challenges alongside mental health struggles, which ultimately led her to develop resilience and the ability to let go.

On a lighter note, Nazish revealed that she is a psychologist and practiced in a clinic before her marriage. She mentioned providing online mental health sessions during Covid pandemic but faced challenges when people began flirting with her.
