Actor Ramsha Khan has been missing from social media for a while and it has now emerged that she no longer wishes to be in the public eye at all.

The actor deleted — or possibly deactivated — her Instagram account after her marriage to her Biryani co-star Khushhal Khan in April and recently told Something Haute’s Hassan Choudary she does not want to so much as be seen on social media after what happened at her wedding.

In a podcast published on Tuesday, Choudary said he had spoken to both Ramsha and Khushhal, and the actor told him she didn’t want to be seen online.

Although it’s been a few months since she’s been off social media, fans were puzzled by her supposed absence from her sister Alysha Khan’s wedding festivities last week.

Unlike Ramsha and Khushhal, Alysha posted about her wedding — a lot — and when people couldn’t spot the actor anywhere, they got worried. While some speculated the couple was in the background wearing masks based on a glimpse of a couple in one of the videos, it is unclear whether that was them.

As for Ramsha’s own wedding, the pair initially chose to keep their marriage private, but pictures of their alleged nikkah were leaked, leading the actor to write a strongly worded note admonishing social media pages for using her private life for clout.

Choudary said this was the primary reason she didn’t want to be on social media any more, saying it might have had a negative effect on her mental health.

Fans were worried for the actor and some began speculating about her and Khushhal. However, the host said Ramsha had told him everything was okay.

“Had Khushhal said this to me, [I would have had my doubts], but I spoke to Ramsha directly… She’s very happy and when I asked her, ‘What’s going on’, she said, ‘I just don’t want to be on the camera again.’”

There has also been speculation online about Ramsha’s departure from the entertainment industry and whether Khushhal had something to do with it. Choudary said not working was Ramsha’s own decision, one she had been hinting at even before she got married.

The host requested the actor’s fans and media outlets trying — and sometimes resorting to less-than-ethical means — to get information on her to please respect her privacy.
