Pakistani actress Alizeh Shah has publicly dismissed false rumours about her death, urging both social and mainstream media to give her space and stop spreading negativity. The Taqdeer star broke her silence after a wave of online harassment affected her deeply.
Earlier this week, Alizeh Shah deactivated her Instagram account, leaving a note and changing her bio to “Not Dead.” Despite this clear message, rumours about her death continued to circulate, with some news channels even contacting her family for confirmation.
In a heartfelt statement posted on her Instagram stories, Alizeh explained how the constant trolling, criticism, and negativity have taken a toll on her emotional and physical health.
She shared that the pressure became so overwhelming that she felt forced to isolate herself, not just from social media but from everyone around her. Alizeh described feeling broken and exhausted, and revealed that the ongoing harassment has made her physically unwell.
Addressing the impact on her family, she said, “Imagine what that does to a family, to a mother’s heart.” She pleaded with the public to stop contacting her family and to stop spreading false stories.
Alizeh Shah concluded her message by asking for space and understanding, saying, “Please just let me breathe.” She also mentioned that she is unsure when or if she will return to Instagram or television, as the pressure has become too much to handle.
Her statement has sparked a conversation about the impact of online harassment on public figures and the importance of respecting their privacy and mental health.
