Iffat Omar recently responded to the criticism she frequently gets about her wardrobe choices with a strong message. Iffat sent a strong message to her critics during an appearance on the podcast The Youth Wave, especially to those who body-shame her and criticize her fashion choices.
When the host made fun of the fact that there were a lot of ads for “mardana kamzori” even though there weren’t many for “zanana kamzori,” Iffat said, “That’s the main reason why people hate me, especially the boys’ club.” Words that have been used to describe her in the past, such as “talaaq yafta aurat” and “dou takkay ki aurat,” were yelled by her. As if to mimic her critics, Iffat screamed, “Why do you wear such short clothes, don’t you feel ashamed?”
The star firmly questioned, “It is between Allah and I – who are you to say anything to me?” She went on, saying, “I speak without fear,” and that she could quiet anyone. As an anti-establishment person, I also speak out then. I speak out against the governing party because I haven’t stolen anything. I am immune to blackmail. I have no scandals. Alright, after having one or two affairs, I got married. Nothing is concealed from me. What would you uncover and use against me?
The actor admitted that the strong feelings people have about her are a result of her outspokenness, which includes criticizing other people and even businesses. She emphasized that she will always act in accordance with her moral convictions, regardless of what society may think or say. “I can say the truth because I am immune to blackmail. And my shortcoming is being honest.”
Iffat’s open reaction demonstrates her steadfast support for individual autonomy and the freedom to make decisions free from external pressures or biases. Her message is in line with a larger discussion on personal agency and the value of accepting diversity in lives and modes of expression.
Iffat is a well-known character in the entertainment world. Her courageous demeanor dispels misconceptions and promotes discussion about the value of honoring individual preferences. Her remarks serve as a reminder that accepting oneself and refusing to let society’s expectations limit one’s potential is the first step toward empowerment.
