Vloggers Are Misleading Society with a Fake Lifestyle, Says Sarha Asghar

Model and actress Sarha Asghar recently expressed her strong concerns about the rising influence of vloggers and YouTubers in shaping unrealistic societal standards. Speaking during an interview on Vicky Khan’s podcast, Sarha criticized the “artificial lifestyle” portrayed by social media influencers, calling it harmful to society, especially for young and impressionable audiences.

Sarha pointed out that many vloggers intentionally showcase a glamorous and exaggerated life that is far from the reality most people live in. She believes that this trend pushes viewers—especially youth—towards false expectations and dissatisfaction with their own lives. According to her, “If vloggers don’t show a flashy lifestyle, people might not even watch them.”

She also spoke about the tragic murder of Sana Yousuf, emphasizing how important it is for parents to monitor their children’s use of social media. “At a young age, children don’t have the awareness to understand who is genuine and who is not,” she said. Sarha urged parents to build strong bonds with their children so that they feel safe enough to share everything.

Commenting on how social media is impacting mental health, Sarha added that many vloggers create false standards, such as buying extravagant gifts for their partners. “When someone gives a bouquet worth hundreds of thousands of rupees, it sets a bar that most people cannot reach. It creates pressure,” she said, referring to a viral video by YouTuber Muaz Safder, who gifted his wife a massive and expensive rose bouquet transported by a special truck.

Sarha insisted that vloggers should show realistic and relatable content, rather than fantasy-driven material. “They have a huge following, and they need to be more responsible,” she said.

Her comments highlight a growing concern: that social media influencers may be creating more harm than good by promoting lifestyles that are financially or emotionally out of reach for the average person. According to Sarha, showing a more genuine and balanced life would benefit viewers and society as a whole.

As the debate around vlogger culture intensifies, Sarha Asghar’s words serve as a reminder that influence comes with responsibility, and authenticity matters more than ever in today’s digital world.
