Jannat Mirza – Pakistan’s leading TikTok star and social media influencer – recently made headlines when she went public about her breakup with fiancé Umer Butt.
Known for her considerable social media presence, with 25.1 million TikTok followers and 5.9 million Instagram followers, Mirza revealed the reasons for calling off her engagement in a candid statement.
In her remarks, Mirza expressed relief and satisfaction at the end of the relationship, stating that she could no longer maintain it. “I made a conscious decision to call off the engagement after I realized I couldn’t live in a relationship like that,” she revealed.
Her comments quickly spread across social media, attracting widespread attention and sparking a wave of discussion among her followers.
Umer Butt Response
Reacting to Mirza’s statement, Umer Butt took to Instagram and shared posts that appeared to be aimed at his ex-fiancée. Butt wrote, “My parents brought me up 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 lena ka shoq ni hy mujhy Allah apko Khush rakhey Ameen).” He also re-shared a fan clip with the caption: “A silent lion is more dangerous than a barking dog.”
Butt’s response was met with considerable public backlash. Many commentators criticized him for his perceived lack of grace and suggested that he should have remained silent rather than engage in provocations on social media.
Critics say influencers should avoid airing personal grievances publicly, as it often leads to further disagreements.
In contrast, Jannat Mirza’s supporters rallied around her, applauding her for her outspokenness and voicing their disapproval of Butt’s actions. Social media users voiced their opinions, stressing that such public controversies reflect poorly on the individuals involved and contribute to the negative perception of influencers.
