New Delhi, June 03:
Malala Yousafzai, who featured on the cover of British Vogue‘s June edition, spilled the beans on her lockdown days, wearing a headscarf, her go-to dish, friendships, and much more, in the interview. Here’s what she said:
On lockdown
The 23-year-old, who graduated during the pandemic moved to Birmingham to complete her final year at Oxford University from her parent’s house. She spent her time playing online games, eating lamb curry cooked by her mother, reading and “doom-scrolling” on social media.
Her go-to food order
The activist got some time at the university to play poker with her friends and visit McDonald’s where she ordered sweet chilli chicken wrap and a caramel frappe.
“I had never really been in the company of people my own age because I was recovering from the incident [the Taliban’s attempt on her life], and travelling around the world, publishing a book and doing a documentary, and so many things were happening. At university I finally got some time for myself,” she was quoted as saying.
Talking about how her parents wished to see their daughter married one day, she added, “I still don’t understand why people have to get married. If you want to have a person in your life, why do you have to sign marriage papers, why can’t it just be a partnership?”
