Moreover, not only is there gender discrimination present within the society but also in the media industry. Hajra further confirms this by mentioning that the characters of women shown in TV serials today are far from empowering and hence create misconceptions and prejudiced stereotypes within the society about how women ‘should be.’ For instance, the girl that puts herself first, is outgoing, laughs a lot, talks to boys, and wear Latest Asian clothes is always portrayed as the villain or the ‘bad girl’ in the famous Pakistani drama. Another form of discrimination found within the industry Hajra mentions is how actresses are chosen specifically based on a common stereotype of the girl being young and thin, having long, straight hair and a fair complexion.
