The actress rejected Zarnish Khan’s apology, accusing her of blocking her mother after promising to apologise.
Pakistani actress Alizeh Shah has refused to accept an apology from fellow actor Zarnish Khan, reigniting a long-standing dispute over remarks made three years ago.
The controversy stems from Zarnish Khan’s appearance on the digital show in 2022, where she was asked who would win a contest for being more disrespectful. Without hesitation, Zarnish Khan responded, “It doesn’t matter who she [Alizeh Shah] is up against, she’ll win.”
The comment resurfaced after Zarnish Khan recently reached out to Alizeh Shah via Instagram, expressing regret over her words. In a private message, which Alizeh Shah later made public, Zarnish Khan admitted that her comment was made in the spur of the moment and apologised for any hurt caused.
“Hey Alizey, I know this is out of the blue, but I’m extremely remorseful for saying something silly in the spur of the moment on OVM. Please forgive me,” Zarnish Khan wrote, offering to apologise publicly if that would make a difference.
She further extended an apology to Alizeh Shah’s mother, acknowledging that her remarks had affected her as well. “I really want to apologise to your mom. She was really hurt by it,” Zarnish Khan added.
However, Alizeh Shah firmly refused to accept the apology. In her response, she wrote, “It won’t fix the damage you did. I DO NOT forgive you.”
She accused Zarnish Khan of choosing to criticise her despite having received kindness from her family, stating, “They weren’t paying you to talk badly about me, but you still did.”
Alizeh Shah also revealed that her mother had personally called Zarnish Khan after the incident in 2022, crying and asking why she had made such a remark. According to Alizeh Shah, Zarnish Khan had assured her mother that she would release a video clarifying her statement but instead blocked her number shortly after.
“Khuda sab dekh raha hai (God is always watching),” Alizeh Shah wrote on her Instagram stories, adding, “No, I can’t forgive you! I still remember how helpless my mom felt that day. Her voice was trembling on that call, and you blocked her so she wouldn’t ask you to apologise again?”

The exchange quickly went viral on social media, sparking debate among fans and industry insiders.
Some believe that Zarnish Khan took responsibility for her past comments and Alizeh Shah should have accepted the apology, while others argue that Alizeh Shah had every right to reject it, given the emotional impact on her family.
The controversy has once again placed both actresses in the public eye, reviving an old feud that had largely been forgotten.
