LAHORE: TikToker Minahil Malik has responded to critics after a purportedly leaked video surfaced on social media. Taking to Instagram, Malik told her detractors to “mind their own business” and not try to be her “father.”
She expressed satisfaction with her choices and stated that criticism from others made no difference to her. Malik dismissed the criticism as mere “barking” and defended herself by referencing her recent Umrah pilgrimage in March. She argued that if she were truly sinful, Allah would not have called her to His house.
Malik had previously declared the leaked video fake and has repeatedly claimed that such videos are morphed and do not belong to her. Despite her claims, the alleged video continues to circulate widely on social media platforms.
This incident has reignited concerns over digital privacy and the non-consensual sharing of personal content, highlighting the pervasive issue of online harassment and exploitation of public figures.
Malik’s response to her critics was strong, stating, “Those who keep an eye on others instead of their own women and talk about me—I am not affected by your comments, your hatred, or your barking.”
She emphasized her contentment and peace, despite being called names and judged by others. Malik also pointed out that none of her critics have helped her in times of difficulty, except for her family.
Malik’s concluding remarks were, “It makes no difference to me how you judge me. I am very happy with my life—do whatever you want.”
She wished her critics a happy Eid and stated that she had forgiven everyone when she visited Allah’s home, but now realizes she was wrong to do so.
This incident is not isolated, as several other TikTokers, including Sajal Malik and Imsha Rehman, have faced similar breaches of privacy and online harassment.
The swift spread of explicit videos and the subsequent condemnation and criticism have sparked heated debates about digital privacy, consent, and the limits of online freedom.
