According to reports of Baaghi TV, Iffat Omar has come under the radar by the public about making derogatory remarks about Pakistan’s renowned veteran actor Rahat Kazmi.
In her web show, Iffat admitted that she deliberately took retakes during the shooting of the play to hug Rahat Kazmi, the actor of the ‘Dhoop Kinaray’ fame.

Yesterday it was the actor Nauman Ijaz criticized for his remarks on having extra-marital relations without the knowledge of his wife and now the host herself is being scrutinized over her comments on Rahat Kazmi which have not gone well with the audience.
In one of her program’s episode with Hareem Farooq and Ali Rehman, Iffat confessed that though Rahat Kazmi was playing her father’s role, she kept on hugging him. She further expressed that he did not know about her intentions then.

It may be recalled that Iffat Omar disapproved of the singer Ali Zafar being presented with the Pride of Performance Award earlier this year. “Only in Pakistan, an alleged harasser gets an award backed by the Govt. Nowhere else in the 21st century. #PakistanZindabad,” she posted on August 17.
There was a time when the actress spoke against Ali Zafar, but now people on social media are bashing Iffat Omar for misusing the MeToo movement and being the harasser herself!
