In November 2016, a private video of actor Rida Isfahani got leaked and went viral on social media. The controversy affected her career in a huge way and she lost out on work. Now the artist has discussed the matter on Nadir Ali’s podcast for the first time.
Allegedly her ex-fiancé, who was DOP betrayed her and leaked her private moments.
Rida said, “I would discuss it with you because you respect women. If your trust is breached, then it means it is the end of humanity. I would say it’s Allah who gives respect and who reveals your bad side in front of others, sometimes, the punishment comes early because Allah doesn’t want someone special to fall astray.”
She added, “Well, my trust was broken by my fiancé. I convinced my parents for him. My mindset was conservative as I wanted to be with one person. I had a relationship with DOP. He wasn’t even wealthy, he proposed to me and I accepted. After three years of my engagement, he leaked my pictures when I was in the US. People urged me to do a press conference but I didn’t as it was his deed, this is my tragedy and it will go to my grave with me. People don’t forgive and keep accusing you for your past and I have been facing this. I was also cut down from projects after this. I contacted him through agencies after this because I was clueless at that time, his act was bad, I will be embarrassed in front of my loved ones who never said a bad word to me after this tragedy, they were so hurt.”
