Zari Hassan is once again setting social media on fire through not with drama this time, but with a display of love that’s sparked a serious gender debate after kneeling for husband Shakib Cham Lutaaya.
In a now-viral video, the Ugandan socialite and business mogul is seen walking gracefully into a living room, rocking comfy loose trousers and a soft pink woollen sweater. Her hips swayed effortlessly to the rhythm of a Luganda tune playing in the background.
But it’s what happened next that got everyone talking.
With a cup delicately placed on a platter, Zari knelt before her husband, Shakib Lutaaya, and offered him tea. The two then shared a sweet kiss, with Shakib smiling like a man living his best life.
The setting? A chic, minimalist room complete with a massive flat-screen TV and simple, classy furniture. Two other guests sat quietly as the moment unfolded.
As expected, social media exploded.
“Where do we order a Zari from?” joked one man on X.
“This can never be me. A whole me kneeling? For what?” retorted a woman on TikTok.
While some praised Zari for honoring her husband in a traditional, loving gesture, others saw it as unnecessary submission. But if the look on Shakib’s face is anything to go by, he was clearly feeling like royalty.
