- She criticizes the lack of evolution in critics and their demoralizing words toward new talent.
- Imam advocates for constructive criticism and kindness from TV and digital critics.

Madiha Imam, a brilliant Pakistani actress known for her mature acting skills and serious characters, has appeared in notable dramas. Recently, Imam called out TV critics during her appearance on the podcast “Pressure Buhat Hai”, hosted by Faysal Quraishi.
She said, “I sometimes get unnecessary questions related to production mistakes, I can only be answerable about my acting. I categorically say that you should ask this from the concerned party because the script can’t be only about me”.
Madiha Imam further added, “Our critics haven’t evolved yet, they are still doing the same job. See Faysal! correct me if I am wrong because you are much more experienced than me, what are they doing to a new talent by demoralizing him/her through their harsh words? I knew that I was a stupid actor, during my initial days, but I was taught by people like you. I wasn’t sent back to the home”.
She also said, “I want our TV and digital critics to be kind and empathetic towards new actors so that they learn and improve. They should give constructive criticism instead of doing personal attacks and mud-slinging. If they make fun of actors like this; they will be mocked. Be constructive or don’t do criticism only”.
Madiha Imam expressed that social media trolling during her wedding deeply hurt her. She said, “How can you troll someone based on facial features, nationality, and other things like people trolled me and my husband a lot after my marriage? I gave a lot of explanations to the people but then I decided to stay quiet. Now, I don’t care about people. I uploaded my Nikah pictures but they didn’t believe me, there are multiple religions in India, how can you troll someone like this”. Here is the link to the video:
