Islamabad: Renowned Pakistani actress and model Iffat Omar has stirred a new debate with her bold statement regarding former cricket legend and ex-Prime Minister, Imran Khan. In a recent interview, Iffat Omar claimed, “Imran Khan se bara star Pakistan ne nahi banaya,” which translates to “Pakistan has not produced a bigger star than Imran Khan.”
The statement, which has sparked discussions across social media and among political circles, highlights Imran Khan’s extraordinary journey from a world-renowned cricketer to becoming Pakistan’s prime minister. Omar, who has had a long career in the entertainment industry, reflected on Khan’s unmatched popularity, both within Pakistan and globally.
“Imran Khan’s charisma, his leadership on the cricket field, and his vision for Pakistan have made him a unique figure. No one has achieved what he has in terms of fame and influence. His name will always be remembered as one of the brightest stars Pakistan has ever produced,” Iffat Omar emphasized.
While many fans of the former cricketer turned politician agreed with her view, others raised questions regarding the comparison, suggesting that stars in various fields—from politics to arts—have contributed significantly to the nation’s identity.
Iffat Omar’s remark comes at a time when the country remains divided over Imran Khan’s political journey, with some lauding his achievements and others criticizing his tenure as prime minister.
This statement has added to the growing conversation about the intersection of politics, celebrity culture, and national pride, with Pakistanis from all walks of life weighing in on the topic.
