A private video of the actor Rida Isfahani was released in November 2016 and quickly became popular on social media. Her career was severely impacted by the scandal, and she missed out on work. For the first time, the artist has now addressed the issue on Nadir Ali’s show.
Her former fiancé, a DOP, allegedly betrayed her and revealed her secret affairs.
I would talk about it with you because you respect women, Rida remarked. If your trust is betrayed, humanity will have come to an end. I would answer that Allah is the one who honours you and exposes your flaws in front of others; occasionally, the punishment is meted out quickly because Allah doesn’t want a special person to go astray.
My fiancé betrayed my confidence, she continued. I persuaded my parents to support him. I had a conservative mentality since I preferred being alone. I had a romantic connection to DOP. Even though he wasn’t affluent, he proposed to me, and I said yes. When I was in the US and we had been engaged for three years, he leaked my photos. People wanted me to have a news conference, but I declined because it was his act and I would take this tragedy with me to my grave.
I have experienced this, where people refuse to forgive you and always hold your past against you. After this, my involvement in initiatives was likewise reduced. My family members, who had never spoken a nasty thing to me before this disaster, were so affected that I later contacted him through agencies since I was completely unprepared at the moment and worried about embarrassing them in front of me.
