Alizeh Shah Threatens Legal Action Against Yasir Nawaz Over Years-Old Dispute

Islamabad: A longstanding dispute between actress Alizeh Shah and actor-director Yasir Nawaz has resurfaced, with Shah issuing a stern warning on social media.

The disagreement between the two began years ago on the set of a drama on a private channel, where they had worked together. Yasir Nawaz has previously claimed in various shows that Shah’s behavior on set was inappropriate, while Shah has said that Nawaz was excessively disruptive during filming.

The feud has resurfaced repeatedly over the years, often making headlines. Recently, Shah shared a strong message on Instagram, warning Nawaz not to mention her name on any platform in the future. She noted that it has been five years since they worked together, yet Nawaz continues to reference her on almost every talk show—a practice she considers unacceptable.

Alizeh Shah stated that she has kept records of all shows in which Nawaz spoke negatively about her. She warned that if her name is mentioned again, she will file a defamation case without further notice. She also added that if the issue continues, she will reveal to the entertainment industry the reasons why Nawaz preferred not to work with her.

Reactions on social media have been mixed. Many fans praised Shah for taking a bold stand, arguing that senior artists should respect boundaries. Others criticized the move as unnecessary controversy. Some users also criticized Yasir Nawaz and his wife, Nida Yasir, while a few accused Shah of seeking attention.
