Who Is Imsha Rehman, the Pakistani TikTok Star at the Center of a Video Leak Scandal?

Pakistani TikTok influencer Imsha Rehman recently deactivated her social media accounts after private videos, allegedly showing her in compromising situations, were leaked online without her consent. The videos have since gone viral, igniting a firestorm on social media in the conservative nation. Facing intense backlash and criticism, Rehman opted to temporarily erase her online presence to escape the scrutiny.

Who Is Imsha Rehman?

Born on October 7, 2002, in Lahore, Imsha Rehman is one of Pakistan’s prominent social media influencers. She first gained popularity by sharing content related to fishing and lifestyle before transitioning to relatable and down-to-earth videos on TikTok. Her engaging content earned her a significant following, with over 111,000 followers on Instagram and nearly 200,000 on TikTok as of the last update.

Imsha Rehman's Response to the Scandal

As the controversy surrounding her leaked videos intensified, Rehman posted a brief message before going offline, stating, "The backlash has been overwhelming." According to reports from Pakistani media, the videos were allegedly released after hackers gained access to her accounts. In a screenshot shared by The Express Tribune, Rehman updated her TikTok bio to read: "Jab tak video viral hai maine ID off kar di hai" (Until the video stops circulating, I have deactivated my account).

A Recurring Issue in Pakistan’s Social Media Space

Imsha Rehman’s case is not an isolated incident. Previously, another Pakistani influencer, Minahil Malik, found herself in a similar situation when an intimate video allegedly featuring her and her boyfriend was leaked online. Malik firmly denied the video's authenticity and filed a formal complaint with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). Despite her actions, Malik faced harsh trolling, with some accusing her of orchestrating the leak for publicity.

Pakistani actress Mishi Khan even weighed in on the issue, criticizing influencers for allegedly “stooping to the lowest level” for fame, though she did not directly name Malik. These incidents have sparked conversations about privacy, online harassment, and the challenges faced by influencers navigating the pressures of social media fame in a conservative society.
