Rubina Ashraf Calls Alizeh Shah “Zero” Viral Comment Sparks Backlash

A bold statement by veteran actress Rubina Ashraf about rising star Alizeh Shah has gone viral on social media, creating a wave of debate in the Pakistani entertainment industry. The resurfaced video shows Rubina giving a harsh critique of Alizeh’s acting skills, calling her performance “zero” and accusing her of failing to immerse herself in her characters.

The controversial comment came from an old interview where Rubina Ashraf reviewed the Eid special telefilm “Chaand Raat Aur Chaandni.” In the video, she said, “Alizeh Shah is a zero in every drama for me. She doesn’t leave her makeup, lipstick, or comfort zone behind to truly become her character.” Rubina also stated that any praise Alizeh receives should actually go to the writers and directors, not the actress herself.

This video has now resurfaced at a sensitive time when Alizeh Shah is already in the spotlight for speaking out about the mistreatment and conspiracies she says she’s faced in the industry. Her fans are defending her fiercely, saying that this kind of public criticism from a senior actor only adds to the emotional stress she’s experiencing.

Why Has Actress Maria Wasti Stepped Away from Showbiz?

Social media platforms have exploded with responses. Many users have accused Rubina Ashraf of personal bias and of trying to mentally pressure a younger actress who is already struggling. Some have even labeled Rubina’s comments as “harassment” disguised as critique.

Others, however, argue that Rubina Ashraf has the right to express her professional opinion, even if it’s harsh, especially given her long-standing experience in the field. They believe that constructive criticism is essential for the growth of new actors.

Still, the tone and timing of Rubina’s comment have raised questions about how established artists treat newcomers in the entertainment world. Supporters of Alizeh Shah are now urging the industry to create a safer, more respectful environment for young talent.

As the video continues to circulate, the public is divided — is it fair criticism or unnecessary character assassination? One thing is clear: the Rubina Ashraf and Alizeh Shah drama has become one of the hottest talking points in the entertainment world.
