Karachi, 9 July

Pakistani actor and reality TV personality Humaira Asghar Ali was found dead in her Karachi apartment on Tuesday. The 32-year-old, who had appeared on ARY’s reality show ‘Tamasha Ghar’ and in the 2015 film ‘Jalaibee’, was discovered after police arrived to enforce a court order to vacate the property over unpaid rent.

Police broke open the locked apartment in the Defence Housing Authority’s Ittehad Commercial area around 3.15 pm after receiving no response at the door. Inside, they found Humaira's body in an advanced stage of decomposition. Officials believe she may have died nearly two weeks ago.

According to area police chief Syed Asad Raza, there were no immediate signs of foul play. The iron gate, wooden door, and balcony were all locked from the inside, indicating she was alone at the time of death. Her body was sent to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for a post-mortem examination.

Humaira had reportedly stopped paying rent in 2024, prompting her landlord to seek legal intervention. She lived alone, and police are attempting to contact her family.
