"You are only meant to cook food in those big pots"
The latest controversy involving Dr Omer Adil and actress Resham has drawn fierce backlash.
Known more these days for his stinging podcast commentary, Adil’s explosive statements have once again landed him in hot water.
Appearing on a podcast hosted by Asif Jutt, Adil launched a personal and deeply offensive attack on Resham.
Adil mocked her single status and claimed she would “never marry or have children”, dismissing her charitable work as a ploy for relevance.
He went on to say: “These retired actresses have nothing better to do than cry on shows and talk about me.
“They’re not women, they’re witches.”
His tone, laced with sarcasm and aggression, quickly ignited outrage online.
Adil added: “Oh lady, you cry over your bad fortune. You won’t get a husband.
“You are only meant to cook food in those big pots and no one will marry you.
“You’ll die like this.
“You won’t ever get married or have children, so just keep cooking your so-called Niaz and make your stock in it.”
Social media users expressed disgust, accusing Adil of misogyny and of disrespecting women under the guise of criticism.
One user wrote: “Cancel him.”
Another posted: “He’s a disgrace. No class, no boundaries.”
Several users called him a “psychopath” and questioned his mental state.
Many rallied in support of Resham, who has recently been distributing Niaz meals during Muharram.
They praised her compassion and dignity, contrasting it with Adil’s cruelty.
A user said: “She’s feeding the poor while he’s spreading hate.”
Their animosity isn’t new, as Resham had once reportedly called him “Khusri”.
Many observers believe this personal feud now overshadows professional lines. But for others, this goes beyond two sparring personalities.
Adil has previously faced multiple complaints for his sexist comments about women.
In 2024, over 60 female journalists united against him after he publicly insulted female media personalities on another podcast.
Prominent names like Gharidah Farooqi and Ayesha Jahanzeb filed legal cases, resulting in Adil’s brief arrest by the FIA cybercrime unit.
Despite issuing some apologies, his pattern of behaviour remains consistent.
Human rights and digital rights organisations have slammed his rhetoric for enabling abuse and silencing women in the media.
This latest incident has reopened those wounds. Many now see his words not just as offensive, but dangerously normalised.
