Update: After the internet slammed Adnan Siddiqui’s comments comparing women to flies, the actor has issued an apology. In an Instagram story he said, “I regret any unintended offence. I hope to speak with greater clarity and sensitivity in the future.”
Veteran TV actor Adnan Siddiqui has landed in hot waters due to a comment he made on a show, a statement perceived as misogynistic. As a guest on Nida Yasir’s show ‘Shan e Suhoor’, Adnan made a strange comment that made the host uncomfortable. Nida distanced herself from Adnan’s comment, but he stood by his words. “Women are like bees, the more you chase them, the further they’ll fly away, but when you sit calmly, they will come to you on their own.” He continued, “When I was trying to catch a bee, it wasn’t coming to my hand, but when I sat down calmly, it came and sat on me.”
Notably, Siddiqui used the word ‘makhi’ that could mean a house fly or a honey bee.
The Internet is reacting to the video and there is a lot of negative commentary on the video
