Replying to the troll, the Zinda Bhaag star said: “Number one: [it’s] feet. Number two: apnay chatnay hain?“
In 2020, the actor was under fire after an old video of her resurfaced in which she referred to the former Pakistani model Aaminah Haq as fat.

In the video posted on Instagram, the model turned actor threw light on the prevailing show off culture in the society.
“They say do charity silently or else the charity is you,” wrote Amna in the caption. “Remember, you’re doing it to fill someone else’s void not yours.”
“The next time you give, the camera doesn’t need to follow,” she added. “Sadqa aese do ke dayen hath se karo toh bayen hath ko pata bhi na chaley.”
In the video, Amna can be seen giving money to the poor in front of the camera. When the cameras turns off, she stops pretending to be nice with the poor and pushes them away.

This is not the first time Ilyas has made such a video. Earlier, she shared a video in which she highlighted the culture of exercising ‘power’ to avoid taking responsibility and stressed the need for respecting the rule of law.
Meanwhile, Shaniera Akram praised Ilyas for smashing this culture.
“Unfortunately this exists! Well done Amna, smash this culture for six,” she wrote.
Following immense criticism and backlash on social media over her fat shaming comments on former model Aaminah Haq, Aamna Ilyas has given her “final proclamation” on the matter.
In a video, shared to Instagram, the model-turned-actor said: “The claim that I called someone fat two years ago is not true. TV, media, bloggers – kindly ignore them all. I will tell you the truth.”
Ilyas began her explanation by narrating all the instances from her childhood in which she ridiculed people over their looks to point out that body-shaming wasn’t the only thing she was guilty of – since she was going to be judged for her past anyway.
“I was 6-years-old when we had a disabled cook Nauman – I used to make fun of his limping, calling him loora Nomi loora Nomi,” said Ilyas. “When my cousin had a child, I wouldn’t embrace her in my arms, making faces at how pheeni she was. I was 12 then.”
“At 15, my school teacher had a speech impairment. I would imitate his stutter and stammering. I ridiculed my best friend for being tidda (too short) and made fun of the guests at my home for being too dark.”
“I have never called a single person fat in my life – I prefer to use words like elephant, bull or hippopotamus instead,” the model continued, before making her point for sharing all this.
“No one enters this world knowing all the ethics, so please don’t tell me you all never said these things. But you still wouldn’t give another person a second chance,” she remarked angrily. Imitating some of the criticism she received in the past couple of days, Ilyas went on to say “She said something wrong in the 90s so how can she preach something right today? How dare her!”
Concluding her video, Aamna said: “Aaminah Haq, I cannot change what I did. I cannot undo the pain I might have caused you – but I try to be a better me every day. And for all you guys, for the last time, I am not her.”
Meanwhile, Ayeza Khan also posted a ‘friendly’ advise for Aamna under her post. In a comment, Ayeza had written: “Dear Aamna! You have worked so hard to build this career for yourself and there’s so much more waiting for you in the future. Don’t indulge in this mess.”
In response to Ayeza, Aamna commented: “Love you too! This is such brilliant advice and I’ll need many more from you in the future. So, why have you unfollowed me?”
Aamna had earlier mocked Ayeza’s latest fairness cream advertisement in a re-enactment video. The video, however, did not sit well with her fans and followers, who advised her to apologise to Ayeza for it.
Just last week, Amna Ilyas was being lauded for urging her colleagues and peers to stop endorsing fairness creams and end colourism. But now, the model-turned-actor has ended up in the line of fire after an old video of hers in which she is fat-shaming former supermodel Aaminah Haq went viral on social media.
The video which is from 2018 shows Amna and Sadaf Kanwal engage in a game of ‘Guess the Celebrity’ on designer Hassan Sheheryar Yasin’s talk show Tonite with HSY. When asked about a certain former Pakistani supermodel, Ilyas mocks her [Aaminah] for gaining weight and then proceeds to hi-five Sadaf.
Soon after the clip when viral on social media, Haq responded to it saying: “A few of you have tagged me in something a certain model/actor said about me. Truth be told, if body shaming me brought some small shred of joy in her life, then you’re welcome. Unhappy people tend to gravitate towards hate, instead of kindness and compassion.”

Later, Amna responded to the clip and backlash saying: ‘Woh toh main hoon hee nahi (That wasn’t even me).”
Model turned actor Amna Ilyas, who won critical acclaim for her role in Baaji, is getting married and she wants Aamir Liaquat to officiate her wedding. The actor made the revelations during her appearance on Liaquat’s game show Jeeway Pakistan.
After announcing that Ilyas has won the game, Liaquat cheekily added that she should now get married.
In response, Amna said, “Haan aap hee parhwayen gay nikkah (You will officiate the marriage).”
When Liaquat asked Amna who her to-be husband is, Amna said that she’ll tell him in due time.
From Aamir’s conversation, it was evident that he knew who Amna’s special someone is because he then asked, “Do you guys work together?” To this Amna said that they do. Amna also shared that their families are on board with everything.

The model was also spotted sporting an engagement ring during her appearance on the show, though she kept switching it around her fingers.
Meanwhile, it is being speculated that Amna’s to-be husband is photographer Ayaz Anis Khan. Amna has always been very low-key about her private life and does not share much about it. Her last film Baaji, in which she shared the screen with Meera and Osman Khalid Butt was a hit. She was set to be part of Haseena Moin’s stage play Ankahi, but due to the coronavirus lockdown, the play was postponed.
