Anchorperson and beautician Rabia Anum has stirred a huge controversy as she walks out of Nida Yasir’s famous morning show because of the guest – Moshin Abbas Haider – who has been accused of domestic violence and extramarital affair affair by his wife, Fatima. Her claims were backed by photos of her being beaten and bruised by her husband when she was pregnant and after their child was born.

Rabia Anum took Stand for Domestic Violence Victims
According to the anchorperson, she was not told that she had been invited alongside Mohsin. When the show went on air and she came to know about the guest, she apologized to the hair of the show by saying; “I want to apologise beforehand to you, Nida, for what I am about to say.” “There’s an issue close to me, for which I have taken a very strong stance. When I came to your show today, I knew Fiza(the second guest) will be here but I wasn’t informed of any other guests,” she added.

Rabia went on to explain that she has always taken a stand against domestic abuse. “I think if my smallest effort can save my daughter, my friend tomorrow, then I have to comply,” she mentioned before leaving the show. While addressing the host of the show, Rabia said; “I know you(Nida Yasir) are an employee of the channel and you are very responsible. But if I sat through this show today, I won’t be able to face my friends, my colleagues, or any victim tomorrow.”
