Pakistani TikToker Minahil Malik has announced her departure from social media platforms. The decision comes in the wake of recent controversies surrounding leaked explicit videos that have sparked intense online harassment and trolling.
The leaks allegedly showing Minahil led to widespread condemnation, cyberbullying and harassment, all of which, she says, has taken a toll on her mental health.
On her Instagram story, she wrote, “I am feeling very tired. I have taken this decision after a lot of thought. You all have given me a lot of support and love. I am grateful for that, but this world doesn’t let anyone live peacefully. The world is very cruel. I hope I never see you all again. I am feeling very helpless. Minahil is dead inside.”
“I am sorry if I have ever hurt anyone. Minahil was also a simple girl. And now, God, it’s really enough. They are making me tired of living. I have never said anything like this before, this is just the last time I am speaking, that’s why I couldn’t hold back. Some people will be sad because of me, some people will be happy. I just want everyone to be happy, and you all will be in my prayers. I love you all, no matter how much I thank you, it’s not enough.”
“And please, I request that you give as much love and time as you can. Spend time with your loved ones, you don’t know what time will bring. Stop spreading hatred and holding grudges in your heart. And please apologize for your mistakes on time, and mistakes happen to everyone, but if you apologize, then you have to act on it and not repeat that mistake. And the most important thing is to learn to forgive. Life is only two days, you don’t know when it will end.,” she added.
“Thank you so much, everyone. Please, once again, forgive and ask for forgiveness at the right time, and show love openly. Life is very short; we never know when it might end, and you may not get another chance. Just have faith in Allah. Allah Hafiz,” she further wrote.
While netizens discuss the possibility of her return to social media in the future, it merits a mention that her announcement comes hours after her first interview since after the leaks, was released.
