The world's youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Malala Yousafzai recently added another feather to her hat after making it to the prestigious British Vogue cover.

In the interview, with the headline:"I Know The Power A Young Girl Carries In Her Heart: The Extraordinary Life Of Malala," the 23-year-old education activist reflected on her life in Pakistan, graduating from Oxford university and her future plans as well.

While Malala touched upon several topics, one gathered all the attention- her views on marriage as she told Vogue, "I still don't understand why people have to get married."

The stance left Pakistanis in anger and once again, landed Malala into hot waters on the Internet. Netizens, including celebrities; Feroze Khan, Mathira, Veena Malik and Aagha Ali criticized her for her remarks on marriage and partnership.

However, some of them, including musician and singer Ali Sethi stood by the activist. Taking to his Instagram, the Chan Kithan famed singer shared Malala's Vogue cover and penned, "Malala Zindabad!"

He continued his message with, "PS: If you are really triggered by a young woman's completely harmless abstract speculations about the efficacy of marriage and find yourself frothing at the mouth (because you feel like the earth will end or whatever), please know my own ideas and beliefs are much worse." He concluded with, "Also, get off my page and never come back."

Other than Sethi, prominent stars including Mahira Khan, Mira Sethi, Meesha Shafi, Bella Hadid, Katrina Kaif and many more lauded Malala for making it to the Vogue and wished her for more success ahead.
