Former Tamasha contestant Zainab Raja has made claims about Esra Ayesha’s professional background, questioning her reported cricket career and alleging that she was primarily associated with modelling.
Zainab discussed Esra while reflecting on the backgrounds of contestants appearing in Tamasha Season 5. She claimed that some participants had not been completely transparent about their professional identities.
Zainab Questions Esra’s Cricket Identity
According to Zainab, Esra was initially introduced as a model but later highlighted cricket as part of her identity on Tamasha.
Zainab alleged that Esra had discussed her career inside the Tamasha house. She claimed Esra said she wanted to move away from modelling and become known through cricket.
Zainab further suggested that this approach could have helped Esra connect with Pashtun viewers. She argued that cricket might receive a stronger response from some audiences than modelling.
However, these claims remain Zainab’s allegations and have not been independently verified through official cricket records.
Claims About Khawar Riaz
Zainab also discussed Esra’s alleged connection with fashion personality Khawar Riaz.
She claimed Esra was introduced to Riaz and later spent time with him. Zainab further alleged that Esra had asked him for clothes.
She presented the incident as part of her broader argument about Esra’s professional background and modelling connections.
Zainab Questions PSL Appearances
The former contestant also questioned Esra’s alleged cricket career.
Zainab said she had attempted to find evidence of Esra playing cricket professionally but claimed she could not find convincing material.
She also addressed videos showing Esra around Pakistan Super League (PSL) events. According to Zainab, those appearances may have involved modelling or promotional work rather than professional cricket.
She pointed out that models and actors can appear at sporting events for promotional purposes. They may also feature alongside players without being professional athletes themselves.
Viewers Debate Esra’s Cricket Background
Zainab’s comments have sparked discussion among Tamasha Season 5 viewers.
Some social media users questioned why there were reportedly few easily accessible videos showing Esra playing cricket.
One viewer claimed there was no cricket video of Esra. However, another user argued that professional status should not determine how viewers judge her performance inside the Tamasha house.
The viewer noted that even if Esra were not a professional cricketer, her performance during the show’s physical challenges remained impressive.
For now, Zainab’s statements remain unverified allegations, while the discussion has added another layer to the ongoing debate around Esra Ayesha’s background and identity on Tamasha Season 5.
