Fawad overturns stereotypical gender roles by making his overworked wife a steaming cup of tea, and we love it
10 Dec, 2015

We know the tea trolley-pushing woman is an outdated stock character, but it took Pakistani hearththrob Fawad Khan to finally drive the point home.

In his latest commercial for Tapal Danedar tea, Fawad overturns stereotypical gender roles by making, and then serving, his overworked wife a steaming cup of tea.

In the commercial, wifey gets home tired after a long day spent either at work or grocery shopping — that part's unclear. But whatever the case, Fawad swoops in to revive her with tea, saying "You do so much for me. My heart wanted to say, lets you and I have a cup of chai."

Swoooon.

It's a small instance of role reversal, and the TVC doesn't push it – Fawad, the husband, ultimately admits that he can't cook, but offers to take her out for dinner to save her an evening of cooking.

Husbands of the world, take note! If Fawad Khan can do it, you can aspire to some tea-making too!

I am a working woman and my husband is doing much more than Fawad Khan, though he may not be showering caring words and feeling, which every woman wishes, but he is a great great support and does take work like making tea, cooking and other house chores 50% with minus plus depending on his and my office schedules. with education this has to come and it should. This will relieve men of economic providers' burden and women, of their burden to manage home single handedly.
