Speaking candidly about the pressure of public scrutiny, she said the frequency of these rumours sometimes makes her feel as if she has become “Pakistan’s Kangana Ranaut,” referring to the Bollywood star known for being embroiled in headlines.
Nazish said she is repeatedly dragged into discussions that she did not initiate and that she gains nothing from. She added that the idea that controversy boosts an artist’s career is completely misleading. In her experience, not a single rumour has ever translated into more work or visibility in a positive way.
The actor shared that nearly anything she says publicly ends up being twisted or exaggerated online. Once a narrative spreads on social media, she finds it nearly impossible to clarify each misunderstanding. According to her, controversies in the digital age take on a life of their own, and attempting to respond to every false claim is unrealistic.
While refraining from naming specific individuals, Nazish revealed that one of the biggest controversies linked to her emerged simply because she turned down a marriage proposal. She added that she has even encountered strange claims that she secretly married and left the industry, stories she only learns about when they begin circulating on social media.
Nazish explained that many such rumours appear when she has not appeared in a drama for some time, leading people to craft assumptions about her personal life. She clarified that she has never sought controversy and prefers to keep her personal matters private, but the cycle of rumours continues to follow her regardless.
Her comments reflect the growing concern among celebrities about online speculation and its impact on their mental and professional well-being. Despite the noise, Nazish emphasized that her focus remains on her work, even as she navigates the challenges that come with being a public figure in the digital era.
