Pakistani TikToker Samiya Khan
Popular Pakistani TikTok and Instagram influencer Samiya Khan has broken her silence months after being caught in a private video leak controversy. The digital creator admitted that the scandal pushed her into severe emotional turmoil, even leading her to attempt suicide twice.
In a heartfelt video message, Samiya shared that she had reached a point where she wanted to escape her circumstances, even if it meant ending her life. “When it happened, I tried to take my life twice,” she said, highlighting the depth of her despair.
Before the controversy, Samiya had established herself as a rising star on Instagram and TikTok, collaborating with brands and enjoying steady success. However, once the alleged private video surfaced online, she faced heavy trolling, public backlash, and professional setbacks. Major collaborations were withdrawn, leaving her in financial distress.
Opening up about her personal journey, Samiya revealed that she began working at the age of 17 to support her family, as her mother and she had endured hardships without much support from her father. While she credited him as a ‘good father’, she pointed out that he was ‘never a good husband’, forcing her and her mother to struggle for stability.
Despite those challenges, Samiya built her career step by step, becoming a recognized content creator. But the leak, she said, ‘destroyed everything’ she had worked for.
In her candid statement, Samiya acknowledged the heavy psychological toll the scandal had taken on her. She admitted she felt completely broken at one point, saying: “I wanted to end it all.”
Her revelations have sparked conversations across Pakistan about the mental health challenges faced by social media influencers, as well as the devastating consequences of online harassment and privacy breaches.
