Career
Iffat’s journey into acting and modeling began when journalist Khalida Yousaf noticed her picture and encouraged her to pursue these fields. She ventured into modeling during her early teens and later made her acting debut in the drama “Nangay Paon.” Subsequently, she became a prominent figure in multiple PTV dramas.
