Considered one of the most handsome men to ever grace television screens in Pakistan, Rahat Kazmi has been in the media industry for decades. Recently, on her show Say It All With Iffat Omar, the Mohabbat Aag Si actress Iffat passed comments on the Mayaar star. And well, people are utterly disgusted about it, especially given Iffat’s status as a self-proclaimed feminist.
Iffat Omar has been in the entertainment industry since the 1990s. She has worked in some extremely popular shows like Family Front, Chemistry, Mohabbat Aag Si, Aangan, and Haiwan. She has also bagged several different awards for her work in the biz.
The actress is also popularly known as an outspoken feminist on social media. However, her latest comments on working with Rahat sparked outrage on social media. Everyone is calling her out for being unprofessional and exploiting her co-worker.
First, let’s take a look at the video that has been making rounds all over the internet:
Public Reaction
People are disappointed and they’re asking whether or not she understands how utterly immoral and perverted her comments were. More importantly, everyone is debating how the world would have reacted if the roles were reversed, and it was a man speaking in such a way about a woman.
Let’s take a look at what everyone is saying:
Such people can sell anything for their material benefits and rating. If she ever found any material opportunity, such a woman with moral disarray can use these disgusting hugs for abusing his uncle after joining #metoo campaign.

There’s more to this incident
Before cancelling Iffat, people were on attack mode against another industry stalwart Noman Ijaz for publicly admitting to cheating on his wife. Although it sounds like he is being sarcastic and trying to be funny, nobody was having it.

since nauman ijaz believes “me too he too she too deen se doori ki wajah se horaha hai” somebody pls tell him what our deen says about extramarital affairs and stone this mf to death 👍

But now all eyes are on Iffat Omar. Do you think her comments are in good taste? Or was she just jesting about the whole thing?
