Behind the Spotlight: The Dark Reality of Showbiz Tragedies



The glamour of the showbiz industry the spotlights. Is it really what it looks like? I think as social media has emerged, we are going beyond reality, believing in things that were shot by people after practicing 10 to 20 times. And we believe this is the perfect life that these showbiz industry people are living. We call ourselves ugly, poor, and not perfect by seeing these stars' lives. But what is behind that is really horrible, and when reality hits, we understand that everything around us is fantasy. Now we have gone so far that we don't know how to come back to reality.



Today, I am going to talk about two Pakistani female showbiz actresses and their tragic deaths. Their deaths literally showed everyone in society just how horrible things behind the spotlights can be.

Hi, I am Maham Arshad and I am from Pakistan. Recently, two famous showbiz actresses, Humaira Asghar and Ayesha Khan, were found dead in their apartments. Their bodies remained there for a month and nobody noticed their absence. One actress was elderly Ayesha Khan and one was young Humaira Asghar. But both were alone in their apartments. Nobody took care, nobody investigated their absence. It was really a shocking thing: you have millions of followers and in real life, you are dead and nobody looked after you or found out about you. It's really a shocking and horrible thing.

One woman Ayesha Asghar was in old age. Now she also has children and what a surprising that her children not care about their mother and they don't asked or investigated about their mother. How unpredictable life is and how unpredictable people is?


Humaira was dead in their apartment for one month and she was leaving alone. And she didn't have pay money or bills of apartment for a year so when a owner of apartment not get his money so he decided to tell police and he took police so that she left the apartment. But when they reached door was locked so they break the lock and after breaking they found out Humaira dead in their apartment. It's literally a shocking.

Same scene took place with Ayesha Khan when smell spread in whole neighbour so neighbour call police and police break the door and found her dead in the apartment.

Now serious situation is here. What is behind the soptlights is really crazy. We live our whole life impressing people and in the end no one came this is real tragedy. And we spend whole day looking into their profile their videos and theirs reel thinking they have perfect life. But instead they have life we don't know. A life of loneliness. And even their own families don't accept them.

Police call Humaira family they said they are not going to took their daughter body. They have no relation. It's really a horrible thing. A lonely life. Whole day you spend in spotlight just to avoid loneliness and to survive and on camera you show you have a excellent lige. And people spend day and night to adopt life just like you. It's really horrible. And in the end no body came to took your body even not your social media followers. That's really shocking.


I think we have to learn from these stories so much that All that glitters is not Gold. What you are seeing is not what is reality behind the scene reality is so dark. Fame is not everything I think peace of mind family these are main characters of life. And we are losing these things by running towards things that at end make us alone and make our death a example for people.
