Pakistan and India have a diverse canvas of performing arts as well as a joint cultural heritage which has led to enhanced collaboration between the countries. However, the political differences and triggers which come in headlines across the globe time and again also affect the entertainment industry and the anticipation of their joint ventures.
Actress Iffat Omar, a renowned name in Pakistan entertainment’s industry, has opened up about her desires to work in India. Iffat shared she wants to work in India but she was never approached for a role from the other side of the border.
Iffat Omar Wishes to Work in India:
Actress Iffat Omar is known for her blunt statements and fearless opinions which she usually shares to her audience through her social media. The actress recently spoke about her strong desire to work in India. The actress made this confession in Had Kar Di with Momin Saqib. The actress bluntly expressed her desire to appear in Indian cinema.
Be it the complex characters in Bee Gul’s Pehchaan, Sarmad Khoosat’s Noorulain or Geo Entertainment’s Mannat, it is always a treat to see the versatility Iffat Omar has to offer as compared to her social media image. The actress has been part of successful projects and brings talent to the fore.
Indo Pak Collaboration
Indeed, Pakistan and India have collaborated for several projects over the decades. But as a nation, the fact that our artists are banned quite brutally from the entire Indian industry in a very brutal manner should not be overlooked.
When two countries having diverse history together collaborate for Art, they surely possess the capability to impact millions who understand the same language and who are aware of certain relatable factors attached. However, mutual respect should be the mantra that creates a better professional environment and eventually a better project.
