Actress Nadia Jamil posted a lengthy statement to clarify the comments she made at Almawrid Women Society about how men should realise that their wives are not their mothers and do not need to cater to their every single whim. The actress gave an example from her own household, saying that she teaches her son to never expect some other woman to cater around him
“At home, he insists I make his plate. And I do that for him because I am his mother. But he cannot expect the same thing from his wife or wife-to-be. He shouldn’t. That girl does not need to mother him. I tell him that he needs to understand this.”

Some critics slammed Nadia’s comments as urging women to alienate their husbands and began countering her advice by saying that men should stop supporting their wives as well.
Nadia defended her comments in a post on her X account, stressing that the way a wife and mother care for a man is different.
“There is no one and there should be No one who can take the place of a mother. Ma Ma hoti hai. The way a husband and wife nurture each other is different. They are equals. But the way a mother nurtures is exceptional. I enjoy taking care of my husband and he loves taking care of me. I am not his mother. He has a beautiful, loving, nurturing mother.
He doesn’t not want me to be, nor does he need me to be like her. Even though I have learned a lot from her and my own mother.
Everyone loves and takes care of them self and each other in their own individual way. The way I take care of my children is different to the way I take care of my husband, the way he looks out for me is different to how he looks out for my children.”
I can’t believe I have to state this so obviously. But after a comment of mine got taken out of context and twisted, I thought I’d put out a post, instead of replying to individual messages: Fee Aman Allah! ♥️ So below is the explanation:)
Love, duas and respect. Nado J xxx pic.twitter.com/9jpvt8F9sO— Nadia Jamil (@NJLahori) July 6, 2025
