Veteran actor Iffat Omar revealed she has lost many of her friends from the industry. She explained the link to challenges she faced while working.
Her Reason for Withdrawing
Iffat said producers delayed her payrolls forcing her to beg for her earnings. She found this humiliating and said it drove her away.
Omar admitted she doesn’t watch Pakistani dramas anymore, even her own because she can spot the unreal faces.
On the other hand, she estimated only 40 percent of current dramas meet quality standards. Others, she said, lack meaningful social or moral messages.
How Industry Behaviour Affected Her
According to Iffat, actors who demanded dues were sometimes threatened by producers. Further adding she called this “deeply disrespectful.”
Being outspoken about the system created distance between her and many peers. Those who kept quiet, she implied, stay in favour.
