Actress Zoya Nasir has said that the content of many social media influencers is based on lies, causing many young people to fall victim to depression and anxiety.
She recently appeared on the FHM podcast, where she opened up about social media influencers sharing fake content.
She said, “From globally popular social media influencers to national level social media stars, they are showing false content on social media.”
She added, “Influencers often include false content in their videos on fitness, lifestyle, beauty, and weight loss secrets, which many people are unaware of.”
Pointing out that f content shared by social media influencers is considered good content by common users, Farhat said that users they try to be like them but don’t have enough resources to emulate that lifestyle.
According to the actress, “Social media influencers have money and resources, but they influence the minds of other viewers by showing content falsely and unrealistically, which causes many people to suffer from depression.”
Zoya Nasir said, “People who see the content of social media influencers without thinking, they are suffering from depression and anxiety because they cannot live like them.”
In response to another question, she said, “It has also become easy to create deepfake videos of others through artificial intelligence (AI) tools, and many people are being targeted.”
She added, “A woman made an inappropriate deepfake video of an actress and made it viral. Such trends are very dangerous, and this technology should be used for other important works.”
In a world where love can seem temporary, actress Zoya Nasir believes that real connections need time and understanding.
Recently, Zoya Nasir apperead as a guest on Up Close and Unfiltered on Mashion YouTube channel, she opened up about what gives her butterflies in a relationship and how she defines love.
The host asked, “How do you know when you are in love?”
Zoya Nasir replied, “I think you know, when you look forward to their messages or thinking about them makes you smile. You get butterflies when it’s time to meet them and you really think about them and what they would like and they make you feel special and you feel special. I think that’s love.” Talking about love at first sight, she remarked,
“I don’t think I can fall in love at first sight. Knowing the person takes time,” the actress added.
Zoya Nasir starred in the drama serial Noor Jahan, where she played the character of Maha, and currently she is starring in Kaffara, written by Shafia Khan and directed by Muhammad Iftikhar Iffi.
Actor Dur-e-Fishan Saleem, who rose to prominence with the drama serial Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi, asks her fans to keep art and the artist separate.
Although Saleem was propelled into stardom with Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi, she has made it steer clear for her fans to differentiate between herself and her character. The Pardes actor said that she wouldn’t preferably watch such shows or even want to act as she does not resonate with the character essayed in the drama. Yet, she didn’t deny working on such projects as they entertain an average Pakistani household.
Saleem’s latest offering revolved around a character, Mehak, who was the epitome of a naive and meek woman. Though the drama serial garnered negative reviews, it did commercially well. The Bharaas star lamented how women romanticize such relationships, and society accepts them without taking offense.
In an interview with BBC Asian Network, the Juda Huway Kuch Is Tarhan starlet opened up about her preferences and the decision to work in the drama. “Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi made the producers or made me more feasible to the choices that I could say yes to. Today if I’m getting 10 scripts and I am not liking 10 of them, I would be getting five more because they would be like “Oh, we want her on board.’”
Talking about herself, Saleem added, “Dur-e-Fishan would not watch a genre like or would even like to work in something like this again. But Dur-e-Fishan belongs to a kind of society where people really like any woman being saved from a toxic area around.”
Lamenting the deep-rooted dependence of women on men, the actress said, “Our audience is just focused on [how] a girl needs to be saved by a boy. No matter how that boy saves [her]. It’s more [about] how we raise women in our culture,” she said.
“We just tell them that your brother, your father, your husband is supposed to be around you. I feel like when I was reading the script, Dur-e-Fishan would not have acted the way Mehak did because Mehak is a Pakistani girl who has no experience of boys, who was never told that you are good yourself.”
Although she has started receiving offers to portray strong-headed females, Saleem wonders if they would be as successful as Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi.
“But again, are these types of dramas that will do commercially well? We hope so because it’s all a chain of producers getting their money back. If you’re not giving them the views, no matter how progressive, feminism-driven the drama might be, they won’t be able to make another one,” she added.
Earlier last year, while conducting a Q&A session on Instagram, the Dilruba diva was asked by a netizen if he can woe a girl like Danish Taimoor does in the superhit drama.
She smartly replied that Danish’s character of Shamsher is not the hero of the drama and is rather the main villain. She added that his actions are meant to be learnt from and not followed.
Fishan also clapped back at a netizen for her mean and hurtful comments on Instagram.
The Bharaas star posted a series of images in ethnic wear on which the netizen commented.
The Pardes star stated that she hasn’t edited her pictures to look a certain way, it’s more about camera angles. She added that nothing is more beautiful than curves and she loves her body.
Actor Zoya Nasir has opened up on her divorce in a chat with an online magazine.
Despite growing up as the daughter of Nasir Adeeb, the scriptwriter known mostly for creating the universe of Maula Jutt, Zoya wasn’t allowed to pursue acting as a career. She eventually repressed her passion and joined Sabs, the beauty salon, as a junior partner and became a full-time beautician.
Zoya talked about the backlash she faced over her weight and the challenges of defeating the persistent nepotism and lobbying in the industry. The starlet also talked about her divorce and advocated for young girls to have a career and an independent outlook at life before marriage.
“While I don’t want to get into details, it’s important to share that I was 19 when I got married. He was 8 years older than me. I was so young, even for my age, that I didn’t know how to take a stand for myself or how to greet people as a bahu,” Zoya recalled, highlighting the struggles of teen marriages.
“I wasn’t a partner in my marriage, I was a kid, given responsibilities. My world was so small at the time that I’d succumbed to anything they’d ask of me. I never reflected on who I was as a person, I just became how people wanted me to. I’d accept mistakes even when I wasn’t at fault. When I got divorced, my family realised that it wasn’t the right move for anyone that young. I needed to broaden my horizon.” She went on to urge elders everywhere, “Do not marry teen girls. Let them see the real world and know themselves. Otherwise, they’ll spend their lives being inferior to people all the time.
Zoya was engaged to vlogger Christian Betzmann too but called it off earlier last year because of his problematic statements against Palestine and Pakistan.
The 35-year-old also narrated how her salon was hired to do hair and makeup for a channel’s film festival, which eventually led to her venture into the realm of acting. “It was then that Sonya (Khan) jee and Salman Iqbal saw me mimicking and thought I was cut out for it. In that moment, all my repressed dreams of acting reappeared and suddenly I figured, I’m an adult now, I don’t need my family’s approval to do this, so I said yes. We had a few meetings, they offered me a lead role in Hania and now I’m here.”
While Zoya is grateful she was cast in a lead role alongside actor Junaid Khan in the 2019 drama, she wouldn’t advise the move for newcomers in the industry. “I wish I didn’t start like that. I made a mistake. I didn’t know anything at that time. Now that I’ve worked with Farhan Saeed, Hadiqa Kiani, Bilal Abbas, I’ve seen how they do their homework. They know everything from lights to production and of course, their character. I’ve learnt so much that I can see my mistakes in the serial,” she admitted.
“I wouldn’t recommend a lead role to anyone as a newcomer in this world. Even if you have contacts, don’t take them. Work as a side character with notable actors, that way the pressure eases and you learn enough to stand out when you get a lead role,” added Zoya.
Despite her convincing talent, Zoya has had her fair share of challenges too, including harsh criticism about her appearance. But the Deewangi actor isn’t bothered by people spreading negativity around her. “People have often said that I do not have the face of a heroine, that I don’t look the part. I ask you to define a lead actor. Define a heroine. Can a fat, [not fair] girl not have a story to tell or is it not worth listening to? I never take offence to the statement because the definition of a lead actor is flawed here.”
Sharing incidents from when she had to take a stand against the industry embedding stereotypes, she narrated, “I went to the US for some work and came back tanned while I was working on this serial. The show makers gave a horrific reaction. They told me they’d offer me whitening injections on the house but will not tolerate the “dark, ugly” colour. It was insane. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I refused straight away.”
Zoya also lost a project while standing up for her beliefs. “I had signed a web series where I had to play a girl who is under any illusion that she’s beautiful but in she isn’t. The producer asked me to put on a black foundation. I refused and said I’ll wash my face if you do this because dark skin doesn’t equal to ugly. He told me that it was either his way or the highway. I took the highway and walked out.”
Another challenge that the actor faced was the prevailing system of lobbies. “My inspiration is Hiba Bukhari. She didn’t come from a lobby and yet took over the industry with her talent. I want to be able to defeat the lobby too. I wish to go beyond the tag of nepotism and prove my acting, because honestly if you know someone in the industry and ask them for a lead role, you get it easily. There are fewer (female) actors than male ones.”
But irrespective of the challenges, the Zebaish actor is grateful to be at a phase where she can choose projects according to her liking. Overwhelmed with the love she gets from fans, she shared that once a lady thought of her as Hania (from her debut drama) and gave her duas at a hospital. “I had a panic attack and was taken to the hospital. An old lady thought of me as Hania and gave me prayers for my recovery. That moment still stays with me.”
Earlier she appeared on Neo TV’s show G Sarkar, in which the Zebaish star reveled that her mother was abducted for thrice when she was a sitting MPA. She continued by adding that the kidnappers used to take her to a barren area and leave her there.
The Dobara diva confessed that she feels scared to travel on motorway because of her mothers frequent abductions.
Zoya also shared a disturbing encounter with criminals in Karachi, she said that when she was coming back from a shoot, gunpoint robbers stopped her car and she got so afraid that she ran out of the car screaming, and due to her screaming the muggers went away.

Pakistani actor Zoya Nasir has schooled Indian movie makers for the ‘Islamaphobic’ elements in Bollywood’s ‘Sooryavanshi’.
Taking to Instagram stories, the Zebaish actor said: “Good and bad people exist everywhere in the world so do the forceful religious conversions. It’s repulsive to see the hot shots of Bollywood just decided to roll it in casually in what seemed to be a light hearted comedy movie, not considering the ramifications or how it may inspire/encourage the extremist Modi followers to do to the Indian Muslims.”
The actor further said: “Enjoy your 100 crore club with a good conscious boys. We Muslims dare you.”
