Popular actor and former VJ Syra Yousuf recently uploaded a no-filter and a no-makeup picture of herself on Instagram, and people were all praise.
However, when one user sympathized with her for “being replaced,” Syra knew exactly what to say.
The debate had been circulating social media for some time now, with many comparing the actor’s recent dissolution of marriage with Shahroz Sabzwari and rumors of his companionship with model Sadaf Kanwal as a prime example of “being so beautiful but still replaceable.”
At the time, the couple had denied the rumors, revealing that the two have separated for six months. However, they have now announced that they are indeed ending their marriage.
Now, the new debate starting on social media is ‘why Syra Yousuf did not change her Instagram name’. Her account name is still @sairoz – a combination of Syra and Shehroz.
The real reason behind is that verified Instagram accounts cannot change their name. According to Instagram policy, if anyone changes their verified account user name, then Instagram remove their blue tick from the account.
Most of the people thought that the act of Syra shows loyalty in her relationship, which is mostly seen in Asian women.
The notion was not taken in good taste by many, as several argued if beauty was the only criteria for being replaceable in the first place. Others felt it was insulting, to say the least, given that a woman of her stature could never be replaced.
Shahroz Sabzwari and model Sadaf Kanwal tied the knot recently. Still, it was not any other quarantine wedding, the pictures have gone viral, and the marriage has sparked controversy online. Since then, people have been showing support for Syra Yousuf, for the way she handled the whole incident.
