Pakistani actor Alizeh Shah has issued a blunt response to senior singer Shazia Manzoor, dismissing her recent remarks as insincere and reopening a long-running controversy that dates back to a fashion show incident in December 2021.
The dispute began when Alizeh Shah slipped while walking the ramp alongside Shazia Manzoor during a live performance. A clip of the moment went viral on social media, after which Shah alleged she had been deliberately pushed. Manzoor has consistently denied the claim.
In a recent interview, Shazia Manzoor again rejected the allegation, prompting Alizeh Shah to respond on Instagram with a strongly worded message. Shah wrote that expecting sincerity merely because someone is a senior is “like hitting one’s head against a wall,” adding that seniority does not automatically guarantee truth, wisdom or grace.
She further stated that what disappoints her most is seeing some senior artists choose controversy over work to remain in the spotlight. Addressing Manzoor directly, Shah said she wished the singer would be recognized for her music and talent rather than for repeatedly criticizing models and actors on morning shows.
Alizeh Shah concluded by emphasizing that genuine respect is never earned by belittling others.
The statement has triggered mixed reactions online. While some social media users praised Shah for speaking candidly, others urged both artists to move on and avoid escalating the matter further.
