Pakistani actress Humaira Asghar, 32, found dead in Karachi apartment, body in decomposed state

Pakistani actress and model Humaira Asghar Ali was found dead in her Karachi apartment this week, in a tragic incident that has shocked fans and the entertainment industry alike. Her decomposed body was discovered by police and court officials after she failed to respond to eviction notices stemming from unpaid rent. The 32-year-old was found in her residence located in a building on Ittehad Commercial Street in DHA Phase VI. According to authorities, she had been living alone in the flat for several years. Her body was only discovered after neighbors complained of a persistent foul odor in the building. A court bailiff, accompanied by law enforcement, forcibly entered the premises to carry out an eviction order, where they made the grim discovery. Humaira Asghar Ali poses with an award during an event. File Police reports indicate that the apartment was locked from the inside, and there were no signs of forced entry or struggle. Investigators believe her death occurred at least two to five weeks earlier. Initial assessments suggest there is no immediate evidence of foul play, although a post-mortem examination is underway at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre to determine the cause of death. Humaira Asghar Ali rose to fame through her appearance in ARY Digital's reality series "Tamasha Ghar", a local adaptation of the Big Brother format. She also starred in the 2015 Pakistani film "Jalaibee", alongside various television drama appearances including Ehsaan Faramosh and Guru. In 2023, she received the National Women Leadership Award for "Best Emerging Talent and Rising Star." Humaira Asghar Ali poses for a selfie. File Known for her strong social media presence, Humaira had amassed a following of over 700,000 on Instagram, where she regularly shared content related to fashion, lifestyle, and fitness. Despite her public persona, those close to her say she led a largely private life off-screen. The discovery has sparked widespread sorrow among fans and peers in the entertainment industry. Many have taken to social media to express their condolences and call for increased awareness around the wellbeing of public figures who live alone. This is the second such incident in recent months involving an actress in Karachi. In June, veteran film star Ayesha Khan, 84, was also found dead in her home after several days. Police are continuing to investigate Humaira's death and are working to identify and contact her next of kin. Updates are expected pending the results of the autopsy and forensic analysis.

India blocks Pakistani stars' social media accounts again, ban on YouTube channels stays

All Pakistani accounts on X have been blocked in India after briefly being accessible in the past few days, official sources confirmed on Thursday. Just a day after the Instagram and YouTube accounts of several Pakistani celebrities became visible once again in India, the Indian government has reinstated the digital restrictions, citing a 'technical glitch' for their brief reappearance. By Thursday morning, the Instagram and X profiles of stars such as Mawra Hocane, Ahad Raza Mir, and Saba Qamar were once again inaccessible to Indian users, reported India Today. Those attempting to view their pages were met with the message: 'Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content.' The move comes in continuation of India's escalating digital and diplomatic restrictions against Pakistan following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. After the attack, India responded with a series of retaliatory measures, including the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty and the launch of Operation Sindoor, targeting nine terror launch pads inside Pakistan. Among the measures was a wide-reaching crackdown on Pakistani media and social media content — encompassing accounts of actors, cricketers, and internet influencers — across Instagram, X, YouTube, and other platforms. Although several of these accounts had recently become accessible again, prompting criticism and questions about their restoration, they are now re-blocked. When users in India try to access these profiles, they are met with a message stating: "Account Withheld. (Name of the account) has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand." On Wednesday, users briefly gained access to X and Instagram accounts of several Pakistani actors and internet personalities, including Mawra Hocane, Saba Qamar, Ahad Raza Mir, Yumna Zaidi, and Danish Taimoor, as well as YouTube channels run by former cricketers Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Akhtar. However, accounts belonging to Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, and Hania Aamir remained blocked throughout. Additionally, the ban on YouTube also remains, sources said. Earlier in May, the Indian government issued an advisory directing all OTT platforms and digital intermediaries to discontinue content originating from Pakistan. The advisory, dated May 8, 2025, and issued under the IT Rules, 2021, stated that "content hosted or streamed must not threaten India's sovereignty, integrity, national security, or public order." It explicitly instructed media platforms to remove "web-series, films, songs, podcasts and other streaming content" produced in Pakistan, whether on subscription-based or free platforms. Following the brief restoration of access to some Pakistani accounts, the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) made an urgent appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding a total blackout of all Pakistani social media presence in India. The association called the visibility of such accounts an "insult to the sacrifice of our martyred soldiers" and an "emotional assault" on Indians who have lost loved ones to terror attacks orchestrated by Pakistan. Citing major terror incidents like 26/11, Pulwama, Uri, and the recent Pahalgam attack, AICWA labelled Pakistan a "terrorist nation" and condemned Pakistani artists who, according to them, have "shamelessly spoken against India instead of showing remorse." In their appeal, AICWA put forth three specific demands -- a complete digital blackout of all Pakistani accounts and media channels in India; a ban on all future collaborations or promotions involving Pakistani nationals; and a permanent cultural disconnect from Pakistan as a tribute to the Indian Armed Forces and the families of martyrs.
