Pakistani TikTok star Imsha Rehman has found herself at the centre of a major controversy after an alleged explicit video featuring her went viral online.
The video, reportedly showing Rehman in a compromising position with a friend, has been widely circulated across social media platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram.
This incident follows closely after a scandal involving fellow TikTok star Minahil Malik.
Social Media Backlash
There has been intense criticism and trolling over Imsha Rehman’s viral video. Many social media users have accused Rehman of intentionally leaking the footage to gain attention and followers.
Others have expressed concern over her violation of privacy. As the video spread, discussions about digital ethics and privacy breaches gained momentum, with some calling for more sensitivity in handling such situations.
Imsha Rehman deactivated her Instagram and TikTok accounts in response to the backlash.
I sincerely apologize to all my fans for the recent videos that went viral. This was never my intention, and I’m truly sorry for any disappointment caused.

In a message shared before going offline, she apologized to her fans, stating, “I sincerely apologise to all my fans for the recent videos that went viral. This was never my intention” . She also noted that she would remain off social media until the controversy subsides.
A Growing Trend of Leaked Videos
This is not the first time a Pakistani influencer has faced such a situation. Just weeks earlier, Minahil Malik had her own private videos leaked online, leading to a similar public controversy.
These incidents have raised serious concerns about privacy breaches and the emotional toll they take on influencers who live in the public eye.
