"This is not art, it's just a cheap attempt to get attention.”
Amna Ilyas shared a glimpse of her bold photoshoot, however, it sparked heavy criticism.
The actress posed in a pair of denim jeans and appeared to be topless, using a bouquet to cover her modesty.
Visible tan lines going down Amna’s shoulders were on show.
Her makeup, expertly done by the talented Abbasi Yameen, added a touch of perfection to the overall look.
Amna’s makeup was minimal with a subtle emphasis on her features, accentuating her natural beauty.
However, the shoot has not been received well.
Netizens have criticised Amna Ilyas for being too bold and desperate for attention.
Some have accused her of trying too hard to be provocative, using her body to garner attention and publicity.
One user commented: “She desperately wants to go viral for her ‘boldness’.”
Another wrote: “This is not art, it’s just a cheap attempt to get attention.”
One person said: “She looks quite vulgar. And it does not even look attractive. It is actually quite repulsive.”
A comment read: “She is losing her grace and elegance by posting such photoshoots.”
Some people argued that her photoshoot was not empowering but a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the entertainment industry.
One commented: “Your body and figure are ugly. We don’t want to see it. It was less ugly when it was hidden.”
Another stated: “And when we call them sl*ts, they get angry.”
Others even began comparing Amna to Indian celebrity Uorfi Javed, who is known for her bold fashion choices.
One pointed out: “She is trying to copy Uorfi Javed, who is famous for her poor and bold dressing sense.”
A netizen said: “Pakistani Uorfi.”
One suggested: “Let’s welcome Uorfi to Pakistan.”
Claiming that it was an attempt to copy Hollywood stars, one user said:
“They are all obsessed with Hollywood culture.”
Another agreed: “She is suffering from Met Gala Fever currently.”
Others stated Amna Ilyas had “no shame” and called the photoshoot “ridiculous”.
The backlash was so severe that Amna decided to limit comments on the post.
Amna is also known for her bold statements and in the past, she claimed that no man should be able to touch a woman without consent, not even a husband.
She explained: “I think we have reduced the notion of feminism to just what women wear.
“Whenever I read comments on social media, I realise that the famous chant, ‘Mera jism, meri marzi (My body my choice)’ is made out to be about clothes only, even though the idea behind it is much deeper.
“It’s about having body autonomy rights and consent.
“It’s about harassment, domestic violence, and concepts like, ‘No one has the right to touch me without my consent, even if I’m married to you’.
“Whenever I talk about feminism, people always object by saying, ‘Oh, Amna is bold, of course, she will spread vulgarity as she’s from the industry, she wants all our daughters to be like her’.
“No, I don’t want that, I only do what I want to for myself.
“When we speak of equal rights, it’s about having the same opportunities to thrive in my career as the man beside me.
“If you’re a father of four children who excel in your profession, why can’t I do the same?
“Honestly, it’s not about whether you’re getting permission to wear jeans or not. What we truly need is the space to work in a cerebral capacity.”
