Popular TikTok star Minahil Malik, who has millions of fans, has again landed in the middle of a video leak controversy.

Only days after she performed Umrah and marked Eid, another private video reportedly attributed to her has emerged on social media, triggering outrage among users.

This is not the first controversy that Minahil has been through. In October 2023, several videos credited to her went viral and caused extreme backlash. After that, she withdrew from social media for a short while. With the same accusations coming up this time, she has reacted to the controversy.

In her defense, Minahil has refuted the videos as being real, claiming that they are AI-created deepfakes. She announced that she has already filed a complaint with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and hopes that the perpetrators will be apprehended soon.

The social media response to this incident has been divided. Some are outraged at the invasion of privacy, while others wonder if this could be a publicity stunt.

This scandal has once again sparked debates on online privacy, sparked by the misuse of online material and social media scandals. Experts caution that these types of incidents are an eye-opener for the younger generation about the risks involved with online exposure.

Supporters of Minahil Malik have sympathised with her, especially since she just came back from a religious pilgrimage. In the meantime, most have declared this another incident of "digital harassment" and have called for authorities to act harshly.
