Pakistani TikTok star Manal Malik has gained significant popularity in India, largely due to a viral explicit video. Google Trends reports a sharp increase in searches for her videos across Indian states such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Jammu and Kashmir.
Her dance video to the song Mamushi, showcasing her unique style with sky-blue jeans, a black top, and black shades, went viral on Instagram. The video has garnered over 4.2 million likes and comments.
The leak of a private video involving Manal Malik and her ex-boyfriend also contributed to her rising fame. While some critics labeled it a publicity stunt, others defended her, claiming the video was faked using AI to damage her reputation.
Pakistani actress Mishi Khan strongly criticized Manal Malik, accusing her of trying to gain fame through the incident. In response, Manal Malik shared an emotional post on Instagram, announcing her decision to take a break from social media.
