Tamasha is one of Pakistan’s biggest reality shows, airing on ARY Digital every year and based on the format of Big Brother. So far, ARY Digital has aired four seasons of Tamasha from 2022 to 2025, while its fifth season is currently airing and garnering huge public praise. Several contestants, including Babrik Shah, Zee Khan, Laila, Samia Hijab, and Esra, have emerged as some of the top players of the ongoing season.
Last year, Tamasha Season 4 also gained significant popularity, featuring contestants such as Saif Ali Khan, Muslim, Ommy, Zainab Raja, Kanwal Farooq, and Yaseen.
Zainab Raja, who played remarkably well in Season 4, often shares videos and updates on her official Instagram and TikTok accounts. Recently, Zainab Raja made serious claims about Tamasha, alleging that the show is scripted, the winners are pre-decided, and certain contestants are given preferential treatment.
In her recent Instagram stories, Zainab claimed that one of the most popular contestants on the show was actually married and had two children but pretended to be unmarried during his time on Tamasha. According to Zainab, everyone inside the house knew about his marriage, and he was among the Top 5 contestants. Zainab also claimed that her answer regarding whether Tamasha was scripted was edited out of the broadcast. According to her, she told host Adnan Siddiqui, “Scripted hai aapka show,” but alleged that only her silent expressions were aired while her response was removed from the final broadcast. She further added that she had been strictly forbidden from sharing the show’s inside details. Watch here:
She added, “How can I say with proof that PR was being done for the winners of Tamasha in all seasons? Just get this checked through software operators and ask them which contestants’ videos had PR. There were many contestants who had PR.”

She further added that the male contestants were allowed to offer Friday prayers outside the house and were even given access to their families through phone calls, which she considered a major injustice.
