Alizeh Shah Maintains Her Stance on Zarnish Khan’s Past Remarks

Pakistani actress Alizeh Shah has reignited a long-standing dispute with fellow actor Zarnish Khan by refusing to accept her apology for remarks made three years ago.

The controversy traces back to 2022 when Zarnish Khan appeared on a digital show and was asked who would win a contest for being more disrespectful. Without hesitation, she replied, “It doesn’t matter who she [Alizeh Shah] is up against, she’ll win.” This comment recently resurfaced after Zarnish Khan reached out to Alizeh Shah via Instagram, expressing regret over her words.

In a private message, which Alizeh Shah later made public, Zarnish Khan admitted that she had spoken impulsively and apologized for any hurt caused. “Hey Alizey, I know this is out of the blue, but I’m extremely remorseful for saying something silly in the spur of the moment on OVM. Please forgive me,” she wrote, even offering to apologize publicly if it would make a difference. Additionally, she extended her apology to Alizeh Shah’s mother, acknowledging that her remarks had deeply affected her. “I really want to apologize to your mom. She was really hurt by it,” Zarnish Khan added.

However, Alizeh Shah firmly rejected the apology. In her response, she wrote, “It won’t fix the damage you did. I DO NOT forgive you.” She accused Zarnish Khan of choosing to criticize her despite receiving kindness from her family. “They weren’t paying you to talk badly about me, but you still did,” she stated.

Alizeh Shah also revealed that her mother had personally called Zarnish Khan after the incident in 2022, crying and asking why she had made such a remark. According to Alizeh, Zarnish Khan assured her mother that she would release a video clarifying her statement but instead blocked her number shortly after.

“Khuda sab dekh raha hai (God is always watching),” Alizeh wrote on her Instagram stories. “No, I can’t forgive you! I still remember how helpless my mom felt that day. Her voice was trembling on that call, and you blocked her so she wouldn’t ask you to apologize again?”

As the exchange quickly went viral on social media, it sparked a heated debate among fans and industry insiders. Some believe Zarnish Khan took responsibility for her past comments and deserved forgiveness, while others argue that Alizeh Shah had every right to reject the apology, given the emotional toll on her family.
