Social media users criticised popular YouTuber Shahveer Jafry for playing a “choking” prank on his wife in a recent TikTok video.
People criticised Shahveer for his absurd practical joke, noting that these YouTubers find it amusing to produce this kind of material in a nation where women are actually killed by their spouses and suffer from gender-based violence (GBV).
In the video, Shahveer approaches his wife while holding a pillow in an attempt to suffocate her. When he is unsuccessful, he becomes enraged.
The founder of Soul Sisters Pakistan and a filmmaker, Kanwal Ahmed, claimed that well-known YouTubers find it “funny” to create a reel about strangling your wife in a nation where thousands of women are killed every year.
