Actor Momina Iqbal took to her Instagram stories earlier this week to post a few videos in which she humorously expressed her disappointment with the social media system, which she believes is a crucial factor in determining an actor’s value. She added that because she doesn’t have enough followers on her account, she won’t be given the opportunity to perform and should give up on the role.

With only one million Instagram followers, Iqbal posted, “I must not do any more dramas or films.”

Then she said, “People with less than a million Instagram followers shouldn’t work on dramas or films. The situation gets worse if they work for a long time yet still don’t have many social media followers.

“I have received at least 10 requests from people since this morning stating that I only have one million followers, which is a respectable amount and I need to put in more effort,” the “Ehsaan Faramosh” actor continued. Additionally, she bemoaned the fact that having a large following on social media accounts is more important than having a portfolio or experience.

“Don’t offer me any acting projects from now on because I have only a million followers,” Iqbal sarcastically stated, continuing to address the creators. I am considering giving up acting and pursuing something more significant in life, such as vlogging.

About her career, Iqbal was most recognised for her portrayal of Falak in the drama series “Ehsaan Faramosh,” which also starred Salman Saeed, Humayun Ashraf, and Mashal Khan. In the phenomenon drama “Samjhota,” she also had a major role.

The sanction was given at the National Accounts Committee’s (NAC) 109th meeting, which took place in Islamabad today.
