Actress, model, and host Iffat Omar opened up about her personal and professional life during her appearance on Mazaq Raat. She spoke honestly about friendship, love, and the challenges of working in showbiz.

Iffat said that although she has spent nearly 30 years in the entertainment industry, she does not have any real friends there. She explained that while some people have guided her and acted as mentors, she has never found genuine friendship in the field.

According to her, true friends stand with you in every situation, but in the entertainment world, it is rare for people to take a stand for someone else. She believes the industry is competitive and people mostly look after their own interests.

Iffat also shared her practical views about love. She said the idea of dying for love is unrealistic. “No one dies for anyone. Life goes on, and people move forward,” she said. She believes everyone lives according to their destiny and must accept reality.

The actress further mentioned that she is not working in dramas these days because she is unhappy with the quality of scripts and the roles being offered.
