"I AM A PUBLIC FIGURE, not a PUBLIC PROPERTY"
Alizeh Shah took to her Instagram Stories to address the backlash she’s faced over her fashion choices.
In an Instagram Story, she expressed her frustration with critics who have targeted her for deviating from traditional Pakistani attire.
She wrote: “I know being a Pakistani and having a different sense of fashion causes a lot of issues for people, but really, is that even my problem?”
Alizeh highlighted the contradiction in how audiences celebrate Pakistani actresses wearing traditional outfits like short choli and lehenga in films.
Yet, viewers criticise them for wearing what they personally enjoy.
She questioned: “You guys love watching these Pakistani actresses wearing choti si choli and lehenga in movies, but if we wear something that we like, you start calling us out? And for what?”
Emphasising her status as a public figure, she declared:
“I AM A PUBLIC FIGURE, not a PUBLIC PROPERTY, so keep your lame opinions to yourself! I am done tolerating!”
Alizeh expressed pity for those who criticise her, suggesting that their negativity stems from a lack of love in their own lives.
Currently enjoying her holiday in the USA, Alizeh has been sharing her stylish outfits.
One of these included a trendy pink off-shoulder top paired with fitted pants.
Her posts featured playful dance videos, including one set to Danny Z’s ‘Mahi Ve’.

Despite her vibrant content, Alizeh faced mixed reactions, with some fans praising her boldness while others labelled her attire as “vulgar” and “inappropriate”.
This sparked a heated debate on social media regarding her fashion sense and overall presence online.
The young actress has previously faced scrutiny for her modern looks, especially those inspired by K-pop stars.
Following her recent response to the criticism, some users have speculated that Alizeh may be struggling with her mental health.
A user said: “She is clearly in depression and is ruining her life.
“I don’t know why her family is not noticing it. She needs help. Poor soul.”
One commented: “She says it doesn’t affect her but in reality it does. I think her mental health is suffering and she needs a psychologist.”
This comes a month after she shocked fans when she removed her Instagram posts, including her profile picture, without revealing why.
Her actions raised concerns in fans about her well-being.
