Bushra Ansari’s Instagram take: wants women to love themselves first

WEB DESK: Veteran actor and entertainer Bushra Ansari continues to use her social media presence to spark conversations and challenge societal norms, this time with a witty take on a viral trend.

Referring to the trending audio “Tarpao gey, tarpa lo” , a soundbite popular on TikTok and Instagram reels, Bushra Ansari gave it her own twist. While the phrase loosely translates to “Torment me if you must,” she highlighted its roots in outdated romantic ideals where women were expected to suffer silently in the name of love.

Putting her own stamp on it, Ansari added a spirited “…na na na na…hun nahi, hun nahi!” , thus rejecting the sentiment with humour and flair. “Not anymore. Never again,” she captioned, channeling her trademark defiance of gender and age-related stereotypes.

She reiterated that women should get ready for themselves instead of their ‘sajna‘ thus showing that they must live for themselves and not just those around them.

From confronting toxic trends to poking fun at rigid expectations, Bushra Ansari remains a trailblazer in Pakistani media. In a world where public figures often stay silent on age and image, she continues to prove that embracing yourself, at any age, is the boldest move of all.
