Acting career
After gaining success as a model, Iman began acting. She started her acting career in Shoaib Mansoor's film Khuda Ke Liye (2007),[3], where she was seen alongside Fawad and Shaan. The film became a superhit movie in Pakistan, as well as in India, Europe and many other places. Shaan has been quoted from an interview saying that models should stick to their work of modelling and avoid getting into acting without any prior knowledge. This comment is said to be for Iman, who stars in the movie Khuda Ke Liye, where Shaan is the main hero.
After great popularity and success with Khuda Ke Liye, Iman starred in many television serials, including Woh Saat Din a play based on the seven days on Indian Pakistani Partition and Jaye Kahan Yeh Dil a drama based on love and family relations and turmoil.

"My father was never there," she says. "But there is no resentment otherwise I would have moved out to Karachi. I'm very close to my mother. I'm still living with them so that must mean I'm happy." On a recent show called "Nadia Khan Show" on Geo TV she confirmed that she has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
