Jannat Mirza - Pakistan’s leading TikTok star and social media influencer - recently made headlines by publicly addressing her breakup with fiancé Umer Butt.
Known for her substantial social media presence, Mirza, with 25.1 million TikTok followers and 5.9 million Instagram followers, disclosed the reasons behind the dissolution of her engagement in a candid statement.
In her remarks, Mirza expressed relief and contentment over ending the relationship, stating that she could no longer sustain it. "I made a conscious decision to call off the engagement after realizing that I could not live in such a relationship," she revealed.
Her comments quickly circulated on social media, drawing widespread attention and sparking a wave of discussion among her followers.
Umer Butt's response
In response to Mirza's statement, Umer Butt took to Instagram, sharing posts that appeared to be directed at his former fiancée. Butt wrote, "My parents raised me well that’s why I don’t talk about anyone. I don’t want to do cheap publicity stunts, May Allah keep you happy in life (Sasti attention leny ka shoq ni hy mujhy Allah apko Khush rakhey Ameen)." He also reshared a fan’s reel with the caption, "A quiet lion is more dangerous than a barking dog."
Butt’s response has been met with significant backlash from the public. Many commentators have criticized him for his perceived lack of grace, suggesting that he should have maintained silence rather than engaging in social media provocations.
Critics argue that influencers should avoid airing personal grievances publicly, as it often leads to further discord.
In contrast, Jannat Mirza's supporters have rallied around her, applauding her for her openness and expressing their disapproval of Butt's actions. Social media users have voiced their opinions, emphasizing that such public disputes reflect poorly on the individuals involved and contribute to negative perceptions of influencers.
