In a heartwarming display of solidarity, Pakistani actor and model Iffat Omar took to X (formerly Twitter) to congratulate Maryam Nawaz Sharif on her groundbreaking achievement as Punjab’s inaugural female Chief Minister.
Reacting to a poignant video capturing Maryam’s oath-taking ceremony, Iffat expressed, “This is a deeply moving moment. Congratulations, Maryam Nawaz Sharif Sahiba, on your historic appointment as Punjab’s CM.”
Closing her message with warm wishes, Iffat added, “May you excel in your role, which I am confident you will. Heartiest congratulations.”
Iffat, renowned for her acting prowess in recent hits like Taxali Gate, has consistently engaged in discussions on Pakistani politics and feminism.
In a notable appearance on comedian Shehzad Ghias Shaikh’s podcast last year, Iffat candidly discussed her experiences in the media industry, shedding light on linguistic biases.
Reflecting on the prevalent notion of Urdu superiority in Pakistan, Iffat shared her encounters with elitism, where proficiency in English and Urdu became yardsticks for acceptance. She highlighted the challenges faced by individuals, particularly those with Punjabi accents, in navigating such biases within the industry.
