Pakistani actress Alizeh Shah has finally addressed ongoing social media rumours claiming that she is related to Naziba Zainab, a new actress who plays the character Sidra in the popular Hum TV drama serial Jama Taqseem. The actress clarified that while she appreciates the resemblance remarks, she has no relation to Naziba.
The drama, which has recently gained massive attention, portrays powerful storylines that have resonated with audiences. The character of Sidra, played by Naziba Zainab, has earned widespread praise for depicting the struggles of a young woman facing harassment within her home. The intensity of the role and Naziba’s strong debut performance have made her an instant fan favourite.
As Jama Taqseem continues to trend on social media, many viewers began speculating about Naziba’s resemblance to Alizeh Shah. Some even claimed that the two might be sisters, citing their similar facial features and acting style. However, Alizeh Shah took to Instagram Stories to put an end to the confusion.
In a light-hearted message, she wrote that she doesn’t have a sister, humorously adding that her family “could only handle one Alizeh.” The actress further stated that while she finds it flattering to be compared to talented newcomers, such comparisons can unintentionally overshadow their individuality and hard work.
Reflecting on her own early career days, Alizeh shared that she too faced comparisons with other established artists when she first entered the industry. “It can be discouraging when people link your identity to someone else’s,” she said, emphasizing the importance of letting new talent shine in their own right.
Her statement has been widely appreciated by fans, who praised her maturity and empathy toward emerging artists. Meanwhile, Naziba Zainab continues to win hearts with her performance in Jama Taqseem, proving that the Pakistani drama industry is thriving with promising new talent.
