Alizeh Shah Fires Back at Critics of Her Awards’ Outfit.
Pakistani actor Alizeh Shah recently faced criticism for her fashion choice at an award show, where she donned a short black dress with faux fur embellishment. The outfit stirred controversy on social media, with many slamming her bold decision. Despite the backlash, the Ehd-e-Wafa actor stood her ground.
In a bold response, Alizeh took to social media, stating, “Still looked better than the people sitting at home typing nonsense,” in an Instagram Story.
Prior to Alizeh’s defense, the backlash was swift and severe, with some even drawing comparisons to Uorfi Javed, an Indian actor known for her daring fashion choices. Trolls inundated social media with negative comments and harsh judgments.
One Instagram user remarked, “She seems to have drawn inspiration from Urfi,” while another stated, “Your attractiveness seems to have diminished.”
This isn’t the first, and likely won’t be the last time the Ishq Tamasha actor finds herself defending against cyber-bullies that infest social media. Previously, the actor frequently posted images of K-pop inspired looks on Instagram.
She even experimented with colorful wigs, which attracted criticism from detractors. Once again, her comments section was inundated with negativity, with one user even commenting, “I’m going to have nightmares now.”
It appears that Alizeh will continue to encounter such negativity, especially since nothing seems to provoke social media users more than her originality in style. Her struggles against trolls highlight the double standards pervasive in society.
While celebrities are expected to adhere to conservative dressing, they’re also rebuked for not being fashionable enough. If they dare to showcase creativity in their fashion choices, backlash invariably follows. Alizeh’s reaction serves as a welcome reminder that celebrities are human beings entitled to autonomy.
