Pakistani actor Ushna Shah has refused to apologise for 'demeaning' and passing 'sexist remarks' to a delivery guy.
The actor took to her Twitter handle and wrote that the pizza delivery guy had refused to come inside her house because he was scared of her Pitbull. She admitted that she told the delivery guy that 'he should become a man' and that 'he was not a four-year-old girl'.
"To everybody crying about my rant to the pizza guy. I was holding the dog. He refused to come in. The first ten minutes of “mera waada hei kuch nahi Hota”, “meina pakra hua hei issey please guzar jayein” “bahadur baneyin Shahbash” didn’t work," she tweeted.
“Marrd banein”, “aap ek chaar saal ki bachi nahee hein”, “mardaangi peida Karein” - some of the sexist & demeaning things I said 2 my 2:30AM Pizza delivery guy 2 convince him 2 bring pizza inside as I held my barking & growling Pitbull back.

In another tweet she said despite her assurance that the dog will not bite, the man refused to come inside. "But as soon as his masculinity was challenged my pizza was inside. Says more about society then it does me," Ushna added.
2/2 - none of that encouragement worked. But as soon as his masculinity was challenged my pizza was inside. Says more about society then it does me 🤨

Soon after her admission,the Balaa star came under the thunder of Twitteratis for not just going out herself and getting the food. Some users even schooled her saying that the delivery person was scared of coming inside because he had phobia.
Why didn't you just go and get the pizza? I'm confused.

This is what privilege looks like. Delivery riders gets a salary of Rs6,000-10,000 per month. They do not have the option of saying NO to difficult deliveries because money is deducted form their salaries. All you needed to do was step outside and get it. https://t.co/KIxJoS9cTt

U r just digging a deeper hole for your self here. Now you have turned it into a completely different thing. What's masculinity gotta do with fearing dogs 🙄

Miss Ushna Shah, you are rich and privileged and have enough money to pet a pitbull. We are aware of that. But, a delivery guy who probably is afraid of dogs is not your enemy here. He doesn’t represent the patriarchy. He is a victim of the same system. https://t.co/AbUxuKu5eL
