PESHAWAR: Days after controversies surrounding explicit videos involving TikTok influencers Imsha Rehman, Minahil Malik, and television host Mathira, transgender activist and TikTok sensation Gul Chahat has fallen victim to a similar privacy breach. An intimate video allegedly featuring Chahat has leaked online, sparking widespread public anger and reigniting debates about cyber harassment and digital privacy.
The video, which shows Chahat in a private setting with a partner, has been circulated across social media platforms, prompting an outcry over the blatant violation of her privacy. Gul Chahat, celebrated for her advocacy for transgender rights and her massive TikTok presence with over 6.1 million followers and 182.6 million likes, now finds herself grappling with the darker side of digital fame.
This latest incident follows a troubling pattern of privacy breaches targeting social media influencers. Previously, TikToker Imsha Rehman deactivated her accounts after explicit videos linked to her surfaced, leading to widespread condemnation. Minahil Malik also faced similar allegations, labeling the videos as doctored and lodging complaints with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). Television personality Mathira, another target of fabricated content, openly denounced the spread of false material designed to tarnish her reputation.
The leaking of Gul Chahat’s video has reignited discussions about ethical boundaries on social media, the responsibility of digital platforms, and the dire need for robust cybercrime laws to safeguard personal data. Activists and fans alike have condemned the circulation of the video, urging authorities to take immediate action against the perpetrators of such invasive acts.
These repeated breaches of privacy highlight the vulnerabilities faced by public figures in the digital realm, with the incident underscoring the urgent necessity for societal change and greater accountability in the era of rampant online visibility.
