Pakistani actress and model Alizeh Shah has sparked conversation once again—this time by taking a stand against what she calls the “parchi culture” in the entertainment industry.
The Ehd-e-Wafa star, often in the spotlight for her bold statements and personal choices, recently wiped her Instagram clean, signaling a fresh chapter. In a new Instagram story, Alizeh voiced her frustration over the growing influence of connections and unethical tactics used by some to secure acting roles.
Without naming individuals, she criticized the prevalence of behind-the-scenes favoritism and suggested that such practices seem to thrive “only in Pakistan.” Her remarks have resonated with fans and sparked renewed debate about merit and integrity in the industry.
Alizeh made it clear she takes pride in her journey and has never compromised her self-respect to get ahead. She stated, “I didn’t sleep with anyone, I didn’t ask for favours. I’m just living my life.”
Criticizing what she termed as a lack of professionalism, she said many in the industry rely on such methods to stay relevant. She added that as soon as someone refuses to play by these “ugly tactics,” they are labelled as badtameez (ill-mannered).
Her comments have reignited debate about meritocracy and ethics in Pakistan’s entertainment world. While some applauded her for speaking the truth, others questioned the timing and motive behind her statements.
Whether seen as bold honesty or controversy-courting, Alizeh Shah continues to stay in the spotlight, on her terms.
