Actress Iqra Aziz, who has some notable performances including Ranjha Ranjha Kardi and Suno Chanda to her name, is gearing up for an intense drama serial, titled Jhooti, opposite actor and host Ahmad Ali Butt.

Recently, Iqra Aziz took to social media and penned down her feelings after coming across all kinds of criticism and harsh comments. “It takes a few words to humiliate someone to the core, few words to fat shame someone, few words to thrust down their throat that they aren’t good enough for the world, few words to spread negativity and insecurities,” wrote Iqra on her official Instagram handle.

“It takes a few words to bring a smile on someone’s face, it would take a few words to save someone’s life, it would take a few words to make someone feel beautiful, it would take a few words to spread all the positivity you have,” she added.

The actress also shared that these were some of her thoughts after reading negative comments on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. “These are the most used apps, this is social media, it has so much POWER of its own and that means you have the power to make someone’s day or make them forcefully admit by bullying them that it wouldn’t make a difference if they weren’t around. 300 million people around the world have depression, according to World Health Organisation (March 21, 2019). Why make them feel bad, when we have the power to make them feel good?” she wrote.

More power to Iqra for taking a stand on delicate issues, both on-camera and off it.
