In an undated video clip shared on Twitter, Ijaz was boasting about his successful marriage. He said despite being married, he keeps falling for other women and also acts on these feelings.
When asked how his wife reacts to his flings, Ijaz said he is such a 'great artist' and 'intelligent man' that he doesn't let his wife find out about any of his extramarital affairs. At this, the show host asked Ijaz to teach her a thing or two as well.
In the same interview, Ijaz seems dismissive about the #Metoo movement that stands against the exploitation of women. Responding to a question of the host over #Metoo, he said this was all result of people going against religion/
This man in one interview says he often cheats on his wife & he’s such a great actor that she never finds out. When iffat asks him about #MeToo he dismisses the movement and says “yeh sab deen say dori hai”
Pakistani men are just work of art! pic.twitter.com/9knbMAne4Y

Twitter reacts to Ijaz's remarks:
Twitter took a strong exception to the remarks made by the actor in his interview.
There are tens of thousands like him in Pakistan. I know quite a few myself — the hypocrite Deen card holders. Some pakistani men are work of art, indeed!!

Ok honestly no words- this man who openly cheats and probably harasses young women is saying women calling out predators like him goes against religion. But you cheating is ok. This is disgusting and so sad that these ppl are given a platform.

This show is pathetic, the host has no skills to conduct an interview...
Moreover about what he is saying; tou, beta beta aur meri jaan, kah ker tou bohat se log boundaries cross ker jaatay hein!! How come Iffat Raheem didnt catch him on what he said!!

In the same interview, Noman Aijaz supported Mohsin Abbas and rubbished the allegations (with pictures as evidence) levelled against him by his wife Fatima of severe domestic violence. I wonder how Noman's wife is content with his hypocritical personality.

It is very sad to this type of behavior in the Pakistani society and more importantly becoming the norm and can be seen on TV sitcoms as acceptable and funny, for example sitcom Bulbulay!

Even disgusting that Iffat Omer laughed it off by saying I need to learn a few things from you and then proceeds to say ‘now let’s talk about an issue that is very close to my heart - The MeToo movement’.
They’re all liars & fake their support for women. https://t.co/ZhjA9vPL3a

Apparently cheating on your spouse is aqalmandi.
Standing up against harassment is dangerous and because of ‘deen se doori’
I can’t decide which punchline to pick here ??♀️
But Pakistani men definitely are in their own league https://t.co/S4buLCXcXd

He boasts of cheating on his wife without letting her have a wind of it; such is his acumen at this. But things like #MeToo and women accusing men of sexual exploitation is because they don't understand 'Deen'/religion.
A typical dumbo man in the land of pure! https://t.co/Vmw8xrzkOl
