Famous child influencer Zartasha Kashif’s father has broken down in tears while appealing to the nation’s top leaders to act against online trolls targeting his daughter.
In a heartfelt statement, he said, “We are deeply hurt and distressed by the abusive language and online harassment our six year old daughter has been subjected to. No child deserves to face such hate and cruelty.”
He further appealed to Chief Minister of Punjab Maryam Nawaz, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the respected Field Marshal, and the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take immediate notice of the matter. “We humbly request that those responsible be identified and strict legal action be taken so no other child has to endure such trauma,” he added.
“This is not just about our daughter, it is about the safety and dignity of every child in Pakistan,” he said, emphasizing that the family seeks justice, protection, and accountability.
Zartasha, popularly known as Tashu, rose to fame through her appearances on social media, brand campaigns, podcasts, and the Ramadan special Shan e Ramazan.
Clips of her measured reactions and candid expressions quickly went viral. While many found her performance cute and endearing, others criticized her exaggerated reactions, sparking a wave of online trolling.
Some social media creators have accused Zartasha’s parents of exploiting her for content and pushing her to make political statements. Influencer Maheen Anwari highlighted concerns about the child being used for online views.
Zartasha’s father strongly rejected these allegations, saying his daughter has always shown patriotism and has never been part of any inappropriate content. He warned that legal action will be taken against anyone targeting her.
The controversy has reignited discussions about children’s safety on social media and the responsibility of parents in protecting minors from online abuse.
