Pakistani actress Alizeh Shah calls out actors who sell their self-respect, igniting fresh controversy in the entertainment world. Known for her breakout role in Ehd-e-Wafa and her unfiltered personality, Alizeh Shah has often faced backlash for her fashion choices and public statements. But this time, she’s taking a direct hit at the industry itself.
“Parchi Only Works in Pakistan” – Alizeh Shah Gets Candid
In a recent Instagram story, Alizeh Shah accused fellow celebrities of using “parchi” (influence) and shady favors to get roles. She claimed that actors who sell their self-respect behind closed doors often rise quickly in the Pakistani drama scene—but only by compromising their values.
Shah stated, “I never sold my self-respect to get a role. I didn’t sleep with anyone or beg for work. I made it on my own.”
This isn’t the first time Alizeh has spoken out, but the bluntness of her remarks has caught attention again.
Professionalism or Pretense? A Jab at the Fake Culture
She slammed the fake “professionalism” of celebrities who, according to her, manipulate their way to success. The moment one refuses these tactics, Shah says, they are labeled “bad-tameez”—a disrespectful outcast.
Her claims challenge the integrity of Pakistan’s entertainment world and draw attention to the pressure on young actors to conform or lose opportunities.
