Influencer Nyla Rajah has become the focus of a social media storm following the announcement of cricketer Imad Wasim’s divorce from Sannia Ashfaq. The news, confirmed on December 28, ended the couple’s six-year marriage and triggered widespread discussion across social media.
Allegations and Online Fury
As Nyla shared promotional content on Instagram, her comment section quickly turned hostile. Some netizens accused her of being a “homewrecker,” posting harsh religious condemnations and prayers for divine punishment. Several comments referenced alleged sightings of Nyla with Imad abroad, while others cited interactions from social media as “proof” of wrongdoing.
The backlash intensified as public figures joined the discussion. Actress Ammara Chaudhary, a close friend of Sannia Ashfaq, strongly criticised Nyla, highlighting Imad’s absence during his child’s birth and accusing him of prioritising time with others over his newborn. Chaudhary’s comments went viral, adding fuel to the online debate.
Support and Counter-Narratives
Despite the negative attention, a segment of netizens defended Nyla, warning against online harassment and stressing that allegations remained unverified. Commenters pointed out the double standards in public shaming, noting men are rarely subjected to similar scrutiny. Others questioned why Nyla’s personal life continued to attract so much focus.
Nyla’s Response
In response to the growing controversy, Nyla Rajah categorically denied all rumours, calling them “baseless allegations” and an “attention-seeking trick.” She clarified that her involvement in promotional events, including PSL activities, was purely professional. Nyla even deleted promotional posts to avoid further speculation.
She has also announced that legal action is being prepared against those making defamatory statements, including Sannia Ashfaq and Ammara Chaudhary, emphasizing that public defamation carries consequences.
Context of the Controversy
The issue first gained traction in July 2025, when Sannia Ashfaq gave birth to Imad’s child and noted his absence in her social media posts. Around the same time, Nyla shared photos with Imad, further fueling rumours. While a viral video allegedly showing Imad with a woman in London circulated, Nyla denied being involved.
