Pakistani TikTok star Imsha Rehman has found herself in the spotlight again after her alleged private videos were leaked online without her consent. The incident has sparked a wave of social media trolling and targeting, prompting the influencer to deactivate her account.
This is the second such incident involving a Pakistani influencer. Last month, an obscene video of Minahil Malik with her boyfriend was leaked online.
Who is Imsha Rehman
Born on October 7, 2002, in Lahore, Imsha Rehman has emerged as one of Pakistan’s most prominent social media influencers. She started her social media career with fishing and lifestyle posts on Instagram initially. But soon she pivoted to creating relatable, everyday content on TikTok. Her genuine approach resonated with followers, earning her a substantial fan base on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, where she had amassed more than 100,000 and 200,000 followers respectively.

Imsha Rehman responds to leaked video
According to a report by a Pakistani publication, Rehman was seen in compromising situations with a friend in videos that were widely shared on WhatsApp, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram. The video was reportedly leaked after hackers managed to access her accounts.
After the incident, Rehman has deactivated her Instagram and TikTok accounts. Before deactivating her social media accounts, she posted a brief statement online that reads “The backlash has been overwhelming”.
A screenshot shared by The Express Tribune revealed that Imsha Rehman had updated her TikTok bio to say, “Jab tak video viral hai, maine ID off kar di hai” (Until the video is viral, I have deactivated my account).
Minahil Malik’s controversial video
In October, Pakistani TikTok star Minahil Malik found herself at the center of controversy after a private video of her and her boyfriend was leaked online. Pakistani actress Mishi Khan criticised Malik, suggesting she may have leaked the video for fame. She said, “Shameful to see these influencers stooping to the lowest level for fame, disgracing their families, parents, and society. They should be banned from using social media.”
Malik left Instagram after addressing the controversy surrounding the leaked video. In her final Instagram post, Malik expressed the difficulty of her decision and urged followers to “spread love.”
