Actress Alizeh Shah has filed a legal case against fellow actress Minsa Malik, following a defamation notice sent by Malik.

According to the details shared by Alizeh Shah on Instagram, the lawsuit accuses Minsa Malik of using “defamatory and misleading statements” against her, with the intent to harm her reputation.

The case mentions character assassination, reputational damage, and spreading false claims. It also includes accusations of “derogatory language” and “acknowledging hitting someone on a mass medium.”

Shah’s legal team is demanding a written apology and a retraction within 48 hours. If not fulfilled, they plan to take further legal action.

The notice also states that Minsa Malik had submitted a complaint earlier, only to later withdraw it—something Shah’s team describes as a “malicious attempt to damage her image and destabilize her career.”

This legal drama comes shortly after Alizeh Shah made headlines with shocking claims about her viral on-set fight with Minsa Malik.

She also recently went viral for accusing veteran singer Shazia Manzoor of “pushing and dragging” her during a ramp walk, which sparked debate across social media.

Alizeh Shah, known for hit dramas like Ehd-e-Wafa, Mera Dil Mera Dushman, Dil Moum Ka Diya, Bebasi and more, claimed on social media that “Minsa Malik is giving me death threats after I exposed her wrongdoings.”

The controversy continues to unfold as fans wait to see how Minsa Malik will respond to these serious accusations.

Writer Misbah Nosheen has spoken out about the backlash surrounding the ongoing drama Humraaz, revealing that major changes were made to her original script without her consent.

In a recent YouTube interview, Nosheen expressed regret over how the drama turned out on television, attributing the altered structure and pacing to decisions made by the channel.

“There were changes made in it, and obviously those changes were made with the intention of improvement, but instead of improving things, they actually made them worse,” she said. “And I deeply regret that, because a whole structure, the entire story I had built, the entire plot, the theme, was completely changed.”

Nosheen also admitted that the backlash she received from viewers was valid. “Because of that, I faced a lot of backlash, and people had many questions, and they were absolutely right and valid. The pace of the story was slowed down a lot, and since it’s a thriller, a suspense story, its pace isn’t supposed to be slow. It should be fast, cut-to-cut, and that wasn’t the case,” she said.

She further added, “So some things in the process messed it up. The script was ruined. And because of that, it didn’t have the impact that it was supposed to have.”

Humraaz, directed by Farooq Rind and starring Ayeza Khan, Zahid Ahmed, Amna Ilyas, and Feroze Khan, has faced growing criticism from fans despite its promising cast and high production value. Many viewers have criticised the storyline for being illogical and full of plot holes.

Earlier, writer Rida Bilal also distanced herself from her drama ‘Behroopia’ over similar concerns, saying that the final version shown on TV was completely different from what she originally wrote.

According to media reports, Rida raised serious concerns about how her script was changed without her approval.

“Nothing in the drama Behroopia is portrayed how I wrote it, from the characters to their tones and dressing,” she said.

Rida explained that the changes were so major that the drama no longer felt like her work.

“There is an entire sequence in the drama which replicates the Noor Mukaddam incident, which was not written by me,” she added.

“They’ve even removed my name from the project’s credits, which I’m relieved about,” she said.

The scene in question reminded viewers of a real-life tragedy that shocked Pakistan in 2021.

Noor Mukaddam, a 27-year-old daughter of a former Pakistani diplomat, was brutally murdered on July 20, 2021, in Islamabad. According to police, Noor was held hostage for two days, tortured and then beheaded with a knife.

In May 2025, the Supreme Court of Pakistan upheld Zahir Jaffer’s death sentence, confirming that he will remain on death row. He is now seeking a presidential pardon, while jail officials have requested a medical board to assess his condition. So far, he has been declared mentally and psychologically fit, with no signs of illness or brain disorder.

Rida Bilal’s statement sparked a wave of support on social media.

Actor Humayun Saeed celebrated his 52nd birthday with a grand celebration at a hotel in Karachi, hosted by the newly formed Lifestyle Journalists Association.

The event was attended by prominent figures from the entertainment industry, including Mustafa Qureshi, Behroze Sabzwari, Adnan Siddiqui, and Shakeel Siddiqui, along with younger stars like Sonya Hussyn, Umer Aalam, and Anum Tanveer.

Humayun cut a giant black cake with a “Lights, Camera, Action” theme, complete with a picture from one of his films. Close friends from the industry, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Gohar Rasheed, Salman Saeed, Nadeem Baig, and Aijaz Aslam, stood by his side, sharing heartfelt moments, laughter, and plenty of photos throughout the evening.

Several celebrities took the mic to honour Humayun’s journey. Behroze Sabzwari praised him as both a talented actor and a kind human being. “I’ve never heard him speak ill of anyone,” he said. Mustafa Qureshi, the legendary Noori Nath from Maula Jatt, applauded Humayun’s natural acting style, calling it his defining trait.

The highlight of the evening included a special video tribute showcasing memorable scenes from Humayun’s blockbuster dramas and films, celebrating his decades-long contribution to Pakistani entertainment.

The event also spotlighted the recent launch of the Lifestyle Journalists Association, which aims to strengthen connections between artists and media professionals, while offering support to journalists covering the lifestyle and showbiz beat.
