Iman Ali has never shied away from speaking what’s on her mind, with years of experience under her wing, the veteran model and actress appeared on Iffat Omar’s show a while back and gave a rather explosive interview:
Classiest actor of Pakistani film industry for you. pic.twitter.com/S0vBw7iwR5

People explained what feminism is:
Unfortunately, all over the world the word #Feminism is not conveying the accurate sentiments of all women. Feminism is a way to get equality as a human being. It's not a battle between genders based on superiority. https://t.co/PS5c0syqxe
