Iman Ali’s recent interview with Iffat Omar really stirred the pot. From her heartfelt revelations about her father’s death to her remarks about models-cum-actors like Mahira and Fawad.
Another person who took offence to the Mah-e-Mir actress is Frieha Altaf. She said she’s ‘surprised‘ at the publicity stunt that Iman pulled.
“I’m extremely surprised in Iman Ali’s behavior. She demeans not just models but criticized Mahira khan & Fawad Khan. A cheap publicity stunt as she has a movie coming up.Shame on anyone who ridicules success with condescension,”

According to the former model and now celebrity PR & event manager, Iman Ali’s interview was nothing but a ‘cheap‘ publicity stunt for her upcoming film.
It should be be mentioned here that with the COVID-19 pandemic, Iman’s Tichh Button is not releasing anytime soon.
Meanwhile, designer Maheen Khan said Iman Ali revealed her true caliber, calling the Bol actress a loser.
“In the end Iman Ali will be the loser as she has revealed her true calibre. Very very sad,”

Frieha added that she felt like she knew the Khuda Kay Liye actress, and called her brave for fighting multiple sclerosis. But now she feels like Iman sounds pretty ‘ungracious‘ with regards to her recent opinions.
I agree. Im surprised. I know Iman, she has bravely fought MS over years. She has never been this ungracious. This interview did not sit well.

When Netizens pointed out that Iman Ali is entitled to an opinion. Frieha Altaf said you cannot poke fun at actors that are more successful than you.
“Fellow actors who are immensely more successful cant be ridiculed. Its unclassy behavior to pass judgment on a fellow artist. It shows insecurity & lack of tact.”
Not when you passing judgement on models not speaking English. Its not our language. Also, fellow actors who are immensely more successful cant be ridiculed. Its unclassy behaviour to pass judgment on a fellow artist. It show insecurity & lack of tact.

That didn’t stop people from supporting Iman’s right to an opinion. People even brought up the public backlash that came with taking a public stance against veteran actor Firdous Jamal when he said Mahira Khan wasn’t a good actress.
So no just because someone is ‘immensely successful’ doesn’t mean everyone has to keep their critique at bay.
Mam thts how da world is. U cant bring everyone on da same page. Previous days what Firdos sb said was very true. He said what he felt n observed. U all were bashing him just becz u got good relationz wid da model.

We think celebrities really need to stop thinking of themselves as holier-than-thou.
