Malala went to the Oscars but forgot to take a fake accent along

KARACHI: On Sunday, Malala Yousafzai attended the 95th Academy Awards and was living her best life in a stunning in a Ralph Lauren gown and meeting some of the biggest names in Hollywood. While the activist received a warm welcome abroad, people back home had a lot to say about her Oscar debut. Some people specially had a problem with Malala’s accent, which by the way, was quite natural for a South Asian. While some trolls took to Twitter to mock her desi accent, many of her supporters were quick to defend Malala and praise her Oscars appearance.

Zunaira Inam Khan was one of the many who took to twitter to question just what was wrong with Malala and her accent on the Oscars white carpet. She rightly pointed out that the criticism against Malala was not just elitist but was a product of colonialism.

Nadia Jamil was quick to defend Malala by calling her a “hero” and a “brave fine young woman.” She also reminded the trolls of just why Malala is looked up to as a role model.

Some pointed out that having an American or British accent doesn’t make anyone superior.

Others pointed out just how natural the Nobel laureate was.

Needless to say, there was no space for trolls against Malala and her Oscars debut.
