“He should look good standing next to me.”
Ayesha Shaukat is facing backlash after she revealed her expectations of an ideal life partner.
Vasay Chaudhary, a seasoned host of the popular Samaa TV show Gup Shab, has interviewed numerous guests throughout his career.
In a recent episode, he welcomed up-and-coming model Ayesha Shaukat to the show.
Like many other guests, Ayesha was asked about her ideal life partner and what she looks for in a husband.
Ayesha shared her criteria for an ideal partner, which included a Master’s degree, being physically attractive and a compatible personality.
She said: “He should be educated and he should respect me. He should not forget ethics and morals even in the state of anger.”
Additionally, she specified a minimum monthly income of Rs. 10 lakh (£2,800), adjusted for inflation, from the beginning of their relationship.
Ayesha continued: “He should look good standing next to me.”
The host asked Ayesha how handsome he should look and told her to give an example.
The model replied: “He should look like Fawad Khan and Wahaj Ali from Pakistan and an example from India would be Sidharth Malhotra.”
Ayesha’s expectations sparked a reaction from the audience, with many criticising her expectations.
A user said: “These are the kind of women who have to lower their standards at the age of 35.
“Such high expectations can never be met. This is not a movie, it is real life.”
Another added: “She herself looks like a housemaid.
“I am certain she never even saw 10 lakh in her life and she dreams of having the perfect man as if she is too good for anyone.”
Criticising Ayesha, one said: “Why would a man, who has all of these qualities, marry a girl like you?
“You are not attractive or educated. Nor do you earn much. Have a little sense of shame and stop thinking so highly of yourself.”
Another stated: “Mark my words, she will marry someone who looks like the bottom of my shoe.”
One asked: “How can she demand so much with a face like that? Who told her she is even slightly good-looking?”
Another said: “The contrast between her rural accent and her emphasis on education for her potential partner is striking. She actually sounds like she belongs in a village.”
