“OK fine. I confess. It was me.”
Pakistani actress and model Syra Yousuf became the centre of attention after she was supposedly caught on camera shoplifting.
In the video, Syra was seen casually walking through a supermarket, browsing various sections.
But a surprising moment was when she stopped near an aisle and put up her hood.
Syra then placed boxes of chocolates into her bag before hastily leaving the store.
The clip initially left fans shocked and puzzled about the actress’ actions.
The footage raised eyebrows, sparking a debate about whether it was staged or if Syra was caught on camera stealing.
Others even wondered if it was an AI-generated video.
The authenticity of the clip remained uncertain until Syra addressed the matter herself.
Breaking her silence on Instagram, Syra admitted to being the person in the video.
She said: “OK fine. I confess. It was me.”

However, she revealed the real reason behind her behaviour.
With a touch of humour, she confessed: “I couldn’t resist. And I am sure you wouldn’t be able to either.
“Blame me all you want but for the creamiest milk chocolate, I’m a little guilty.”
Saying this, she playfully acknowledged her “theft” while highlighting the product’s irresistible appeal.
This confirmed that the incident was part of a marketing campaign for a chocolate brand.

Fans quickly shifted from shock to admiration, applauding the creative marketing strategy behind the campaign.
A user said: “Advertisements should always be done like this. Love and support.”
Another wrote: “WOW. You shocked us all. Hats off to the creative agency.”
One commented: “Creative campaign. Had us in the first half, not gonna lie.”
The viral video comes after veteran actor Behroze Sabzwari, Syra’s former father-in-law, shared his thoughts about her.
In a recent podcast, he spoke about Syra’s relationship with his son, Shahroz Sabzwari, and their subsequent divorce in 2020 after an eight-year marriage.
Despite their separation, Behroze emphasised that Syra remains a valued family member, especially as the mother of his granddaughter, Nooreh.
He extended words of support and encouragement to Syra, urging her to find stability and happiness in her life post-divorce.
Syra Yousuf’s life continues to be a topic of interest for her fans. Her latest campaign has only reignited conversations about her.
