Amna Ilyas has made herself a name in the field of acting and modeling. She is one of those very few Pakistani models who have come this far although she does not really meet the standards that are normally set in Pakistani society for beauty. While talking to Maria Wasti when Amna Illyas was invited as a guest on her Morning Show she said that girls always tell me that I am an inspiration for tan girls which makes me think that my reason for coming into this world has been fulfilled.
Amna Ilyas also shared her experience in the field of modeling saying, “Modeling is not a piece of cake. Sometimes you have to stay in the sun for a long time. By the time you reach home you don’t have any time for your family because of odd timings and traveling. Only people who take their work seriously can survive in this field.”
Amna also shared what kind of a person she was by saying, “I am a very easy going person but I throw tantrums when I think I need to. I feel really angry especially when I am hungry. I don’t like to socialize a lot although people complain about it but I work a lot and I need to relax too. I would much rather stay alone and relax then sit with 20 people.”
The model and actress also shared that she does not allow anyone to disrespect her and people who work with her know that. She said, “I am a fighter but I am also a very sweet person. I believe in taking a stand when it is needed. Seniors should be respected, if you give respect, you get respect.”
Amna Ilyas thinks that modeling is not just about looks but also about a girl’s personality.
“When I started working my idols were Irij, Nadia Hussain and Vaneeza Ahmed”, said the model. Amna Ilyas said that she looked up to these ladies not only because they were pretty but also because they were educated had their own point of views.
