Tasha has admitted feeling “embarrassed”.
Tasha Ghouri is reportedly developing a deeply personal documentary exploring her Pakistani heritage, marking a new chapter in her public journey of identity.
The Love Island star is said to be working on the project with her father, Tarek, as they attempt to reconnect with long-lost relatives in Pakistan.
Reports suggest the idea was sparked after the pair discovered old letters and black-and-white photographs at home, prompting questions about their family history.
Tasha has admitted feeling “embarrassed” by how little she knows about her Pakistani roots, despite proudly acknowledging her background in previous interviews.
She is now determined to better understand her heritage and document the journey, not only for herself but for future generations of her family.
The project is believed to be inspired partly by her appearance on Pilgrimage: The Road to Holy Island, which explores faith, identity and personal growth.
The BBC Two series follows celebrities walking a spiritual route across North East England, encouraging reflection on belief systems and life experiences.
Tasha appears alongside a diverse cast including Patsy Kensit, Ashley Banjo, Hermione Norris, Jayne Middlemiss, Ashley Blaker and Hasan Al-Habib.
Her time on the show reportedly encouraged deeper reflection on her own background, acting as a catalyst for the upcoming documentary.
According to reports, Tasha’s grandfather migrated to the UK from Pakistan at a young age and was not a practising Muslim.
He later married her British grandmother, creating a multicultural family dynamic that shaped the generations that followed.
However, Tasha has said her grandfather’s relatives in Pakistan are practising Muslims, and contact with them has been lost over time.
The mention of “family politics” highlights longstanding tensions surrounding religion, identity and cultural differences that led to silence within the family.
These gaps in communication have left Tasha feeling unable to answer even basic questions about her surname and deeper family origins.
She has expressed a strong desire to change that narrative by reconnecting with relatives and uncovering stories that were never fully shared.
Importantly, she hopes the documentary will resonate with others from diaspora communities who may have experienced a similar distance from their heritage.
By sharing her journey, Tasha aims to open conversations around identity, belonging and the complexities of multicultural family histories.
The project also continues her pattern of using television to address meaningful issues beyond entertainment.
Since rising to fame on Love Island, she has spoken openly about ableism and the impact of online abuse, positioning herself as an advocate for representation.
This new documentary could further cement her role as a voice exploring identity through both disability and cultural heritage.
While details of the programme remain limited, reports indicate that the project is already in development and will follow her journey to Pakistan.
For many British South Asians, Tasha’s story may strike a familiar chord, reflecting generational gaps, lost connections and the desire to rediscover cultural roots.
As interest grows, the documentary is expected to offer both an intimate family story and a wider exploration of diaspora identity.
