In a shocking Facebook post, Pakistani actor Mohsin Abbas Haider has been accused of domestic violence and cheating by his wife Fatima Sohail. Haider on the other hand has also reacted to all the allegations against him in even worst way possible.
Using bad language for his wife again, the actor replied to Fatima’s post saying, “Sasti feminist na bano, ghar aa kar mamla suljate hain [Stop being a cheap feminist and let’s discuss the matter at home]”. Later he deleted his comment.
Haider also in an interview to a local media OyeYeah said, “I’ll definitely come out with my truth. I’m happy, she did this. I was waiting for this for so long. I’ll now open up with the truth in front of the public, along with the proof. I will tell the world what happened in our relationship for three years. But I’m happy that this toxic relationship will leave her and me soon.”
The actor has said he will be addressing a press conference on the matter soon.
Since yesterday the incident has been going viral and many Pakistani celebrities have been condemning Haider for the ruthless behavior towards his wife.
Fatima has narrated horrific details of her abusive relationship with the actor which has received angry reactions from Pakistani fans as well as from his industry colleagues.
Fatima says she caught Haider cheating on November 26, 2018. “When I confronted him, instead of being embarrassed he started beating me. I was pregnant at that time!” she wrote in a detailed Facebook post. “He pulled me [by the] hair, dragged me on [the] floor, kicked me several times, punched me [in the] face and threw me on the wall,” she wrote.
Many Pakistani actors including Mahira Khan, Hania Amir, Asim Azhar, Osman Khalid Butt, Yumna Zaidi, Dua Malik among others have raised their voices in support of Fatima.
The Prophet (PBUH) enjoined kind treatment & honouring of one's wife, and he described the best of people as those who are best to their wives. He said: "The best of you are those who are the best to their wives, and I am the best of you to my wives."#MohsinAbbasHaider pic.twitter.com/stE273IwZv

Sick to my stomach. What gives anybody the right to raise their hand on anyone? Nothing. No excuse.
For eons now we have normalised abuse (of all kinds) and for the sake of our children this needs to stop.

You know all the fame you get, all the hard work you put into your work, that body you keep working on, those sleepless nights of shooting and working hard don’t pay off when you’re a piece of shit! #TimesUp pic.twitter.com/phRxQpPnYg

I can’t begin to stress enough on this issue. This is just one story. Firstly, thank you Fatema - for getting the courage & coming out with your story for all the girls suffering from the same issue. Countless women are silenced by monsters like these, physically & mentally. 1/2

We, as a society, need to cancel & boycott all these toxic beings. Do not give them any publicity at all in any circumstances. No more proofs needed, no more ‘wait for his side of the story’. Because domestic violence is NOT okay in response of ANY action. #TimesUp 2/2

I've been staring at this screen, grappling with the images I saw, trying to form a coherent sentence.
...
There is a special place in hell reserved for anyone who would lay so much as a finger on a woman.
You cannot justify abuse.
It is indefensible.
I am sick to my stomach.

Real men don’t hit or disrespect women .. the ones that do are not one of us ..they should be treated as criminals and given the same treatment by the law..

Actors Dua Malik and Gohar Rasheed have also confirmed Fatima's claim as they said in their recent social media posts that they are the live witness of physical abuse by Haider.
The injustice that took place with #FatimaSohail, I was a second hand witness to it in 2018 when my friend took #Fatima to the hospital after she had been beaten up by #MohsinAbbasHaider Through her I got to know the whole Story. Fatima is like a sister to me (1/3)
