Society dislikes confident women: Mariyam Nafees
In an interview with Madeha Naqvi, actor Mariyam Nafees dropped some truth bombs. "I don't know how this will be interpreted, but I will genuinely say that our society is very patriarchal," she said. "People do not like women who are confident." Mariyam related her insights to her own experiences, noting that society can't stomach a woman who speaks her mind. "Even some of the people watching us right now would have a problem with us having a conversation so early in the morning. They'd want us to stay inside our kitchens and take care of our children. It's so unfortunate because people say things like, "Girls like this don't attract boys. They don't like dominant, opinionated women.'" She observed that often women feed into the narrative. "I get to hear this so many times, that I'm too opinionated. And this is something women say to me, even the ones who live abroad and have access to education." Unapologetic about how she carries herself, she added, "I'm entitled to my opinion. Why can I not be opinionated? People can't digest this." The Yaqeen Ka Safar actor believes that his mindset is extended to those who work in the entertainment industry at large. She feels that people have uninformed, biased perceptions of how celebrities and media personalities act, which stem from a general sense of contempt towards showbiz professions. "People don't like women in the industry, and we come from a variety of different backgrounds. They pour scorn on our work," she said. "What are we doing wrong? We offer prayers diligently at our sets, we have our meals together, and we make the most of the 12 hours we are required to spend with each other. No one at our sets and studios considers other people and professions to be beneath them." Meaningful bonds Seated opposite to Mariyam, Rabab Hashim chimed in, adding that it's impractical to imagine crew members isolating themselves when working so closely. "We spend most of the week working together for six to eight months. So it's impossible to be that person all the time. You can't do it." She added, "I'm sure some people might still do it, as there are always exceptions. But for the majority of us, we live, breathe, and eat together. Everything's happening all at once." The two actors took the opportunity to look back on how their friendship blossomed on set. Mariyam began by sharing that she doesn't have many close friends in the industry, but having shared a lot of screentime with Rabab brought the two closer in a way Mariyam didn't expect. "[Rabab] takes time to open up to people, but when does, she unravels all at once," the Neem actor enthused. "Because I'm originally from Islamabad, she would bring homemade curry and bhindi for me. And I'd think, 'Yes, this girl! I'm going to keep her with me." Rabab agreed that she's an introvert who gets comfortable with people at her own pace. Voicing her admiration of Mariyam, the Meray Mohsin actor said, "She's amazing. We became friends fairly quickly and the set was also a fun place to be. We had lovely co-stars, so our days would be spent well and we would hang out often." Sharing her honest first impression of Mariyam, Rabab said with a laugh, "I found her very overwhelming. I kept wondering, 'Is she actually like this?' But as I got to know her, I realised that you need at least one friend in your life who's this energetic."

Rabab El Sawah Launches Elegant New Kids wear Collection
Pasant Elzaitony - Israa Farhat Rabab El Sawah, a well-known Egyptian media figure and fashion designer, has unveiled a new children's clothing collection that combines elegance, creativity, and a deep understanding of today's young generation. Rabab El Sawah Known for her refined energy and artistic sensibility, Rabab brings her passion to life with a collection that redefines kids wear through modern cuts and rich detail. Her latest range includes jumpsuits, dresses, full sets, and skirt-shorts, blending miniaturized versions of adult fashion with the innocence of childhood. The designs reflect the trends of grown-up wardrobes but are tailored to be comfortable and suitable for children. By Rabab El Sawah Creating fashion for children, according to Rabab, is both challenging and rewarding. It took her seven years to enter the kids wear industry. Working with smaller sizes requires specific tailoring, and today's children have strong opinions and unique preferences. Children are no longer passive about their clothing choices. They are actively influenced by social media and global fashion trends, which has changed how they interact with style. By Rabab El Sawah Rabab's love for children inspired her to take on this challenge. She believes that children light up any outfit, and when dressed in something distinctive, they naturally enhance its beauty. For her, the charm of miniature fashion lies in the way children embody the designs. A key feature of her collection is its resemblance to adult fashion, without compromising on comfort or age-appropriateness. She introduced stylish classic pajamas, high-low dresses, and oversized pieces that echo the wardrobes of grown-ups. The idea is to allow children to dress like their parents in a way that still feels fun and youthful. By Rabab El Sawah Through her experience in marketing, Rabab noticed that mothers are increasingly leaning towards modest clothing for their children. Trousers, for example, are in higher demand than shorts. This trend reflects a growing awareness among parents about dressing children in stylish yet modest pieces. Comfort is at the core of Rabab's designs. She carefully selects soft, breathable materials such as viscose, gabardine, and cotton to suit the active lifestyles of children. These fabrics offer flexibility and softness, essential for kids who are constantly moving. By Rabab El Sawah Rabab encourages mothers to give their children the freedom to choose what to wear. Allowing young girls to coordinate colors and styles according to their personalities not only supports self-expression but also builds confidence. Today's generation is highly exposed to international fashion through social media, and they have developed a strong sense of identity. Rabab El Sawah's kids wear collection is more than just clothing; it's a blend of style, comfort, and empowerment for the next generation of fashion-forward children.
