Alizeh Shah, the Pakistani actor, stirred up chatter with her recent attire choice at an awards show. Sporting a daring short black dress adorned with faux fur, Shah faced a barrage of online criticism. Despite the negativity, the Ehd-e-Wafa star refused to let detractors dampen her spirits.
In a bold move, Alizeh took to social media, firing back at haters with a confident statement, “Still looked better than the people sitting at home typing nonsense,” shared via Instagram Story.
Prior to Shah’s rebuttal, the backlash was harsh, drawing comparisons to Indian actor Uorfi Javed, known for her daring fashion sense. Social media platforms buzzed with negative remarks and harsh judgments.
Commenters on Instagram remarked, “She just got inspired by Urfi,” while another wrote, “You just lost your attractiveness.”
This isn’t the first time, nor likely the last, that the Ishq Tamasha actor has faced cyberbullying on social media. Previously, Shah garnered criticism for sharing K-pop-inspired looks and experimenting with colorful wigs, prompting an onslaught of negativity. One commenter even expressed, “I’m going to have nightmares now.”
Shah’s experiences battling trolls shed light on the societal double standards celebrities often face. Expected to strike a balance between conservatism and fashion-forwardness, they’re criticized regardless of their choices. Alizeh’s firm response serves as a reminder that celebrities, like everyone else, deserve autonomy and respect.
