Pakistani actor Maryam Nafees, who married in March 2022 and is expecting her first child, responded to criticism suggesting she would give birth abroad to secure a foreign nationality for her baby.
Addressing the backlash, she dismissed the negativity, stating that there is no harm in choosing where to give birth. Social media users had earlier criticized her for a maternity photoshoot in London, echoing previous objections to celebrities sharing such moments online.
In response to claims about seeking foreign nationality, Maryam clarified that a child’s nationality is typically determined by the father’s citizenship. She reaffirmed that parents should have the freedom to decide where they welcome their child into the world.
