Alizeh raised her concerns regarding unethical practices in the entertainment industry, claiming she has never compromised her self-respect to secure roles.
Alizeh wrote, “Oh, the perks of being professional in this industry… dinners without projects and of course the sacred ‘closed-door rituals. Say no, and suddenly you are ‘batameez’, ‘difficult’, and ‘not serious about your career’. Well, thank god I missed the memo on selling self-respect as part of the PR package.
“If that’s the price of being a celebrity, I am more than happy staying just human.”
