‘I was harassed by a famous director, but I won’t name him yet’: Nadia Jamil’s shocking revelation
Nadia Jamil, a veteran actress in the entertainment industry, has revealed that she faced harassment from a prominent Pakistani director. Her brave choice to share her story is likely to encourage others to come forward and seek support.
Recently, Nadia Jamil appeared on Iffat Omar’s show ‘Say It All With Iffat Omar.’ During the interview, she talked about being harassed by a well-known director.
Nadia Jamil said, “I’m very careful about the projects I take on and the people I work with. I’ve been harassed by a famous director in the past, and I’m not willing to put myself in a situation that could be dangerous or uncomfortable. Recently, Naumaan Ijaz (Nomi Bhai) approached me about working on a project, but when I found out that ‘that guy’ was involved, I immediately said no. I just didn’t think it was worth the risk.”
She went on to say, “I haven’t revealed his name yet, but I believe many girls must have experienced harassment from him. I’m waiting for the right time because I want my sons to grow older. Right now, they’re still too young to handle a situation like this wisely because they’re just angry young boys.”
During the show, Iffat Omar also shared her perspective on the difficulty of addressing such situations. She said, “I can’t talk about such situations even if they happen for real because they send me court notices.”
Nadia Jamil worked in drama serials such as ‘Jo Bichar Gaey’, ‘Durre Shehwar’, and ‘Damsa, Meray Paas Paas’. Nadia is currently starring in ‘Khushbo Mein Basay Khat.’
