Iqbal was asked which project he considers as a turning point in his career.

Continuing the conversation, Iqbal opened up about the challenges he faced during Mujhe Tu Chahiye's shoot. The actor admitted that it was difficult to show 'helplessness' of a human being in the show. The reason was there were many emotions involved in it. He further revealed that his character in the show is more than a businessman.

"I would not really say that that's like a primary point for this character. Basically, he is somebody who is living in a space where everything is there, but there is no affection. When something is missing, one tends to look for it in different places. That is something which puts him in a zone where going back seems tough. It is sometimes impossible, and sometimes leads you to a place where coming back is almost not coming back," said Iqbal.Meanwhile, on the work front, Iqbal has also done shows like Kkavyanjali, Yahan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli, Pyaar Ko Ho Jaane Do, Waaris, and more.
