Former Tamasha Season 5 contestant Samiya Hijab has responded to social media remarks shared by Zayb Khan, triggering fresh discussions among fans of the reality show.
Although Zayb did not mention Samiya directly in his post, she appeared to address the situation through her own statement, maintaining that her congratulatory message was genuine and that she had no personal resentment towards anyone.
The controversy began after Zayb shared a social media message that appeared to address someone who had allegedly used his name in online content. He suggested that there was no need to attract views by mentioning him and added that his wife, Esra Ayesha, was uncomfortable with the situation.
In another message, Zayb discussed relationships and suggested that partners should respect each other’s wishes when it comes to meeting people they feel uncomfortable with.
His posts attracted attention from viewers, particularly those who have continued following the personal dynamics and friendships involving former Tamasha Season 5 contestants.

Samiya later addressed the discussion through her own social media statement. She described the remarks as petty and clarified that her congratulatory message had been shared without any negative intentions.
She maintained that she had no ill feelings towards the people involved and said there was no reason for her to use anyone’s name to gain attention or increase views.
Samiya also claimed that her social media content had already been receiving millions of views before Zayb became publicly known.
Her response appeared to reject the suggestion that she was using Zayb’s name to generate online engagement.
She further urged her followers not to take the matter too seriously, adding that she had forgiven those involved and believed that Allah would deliver justice.

The latest exchange has once again brought the former contestants into online conversations, with fans sharing their reactions to the posts and Samiya’s response.
While neither post directly identifies all the people involved, the timing and context have led many followers to connect the statements with ongoing discussions surrounding the show’s former contestants.
For now, the matter remains a social media exchange, with Samiya standing by her explanation and encouraging followers not to give the controversy unnecessary attention.
