Dr Zee Khan has spoken out about the alleged use of fake public relations campaigns during Tamasha Season 5, claiming that repeated comments from suspicious social media accounts created a misleading impression about one contestant. The doctor and digital influencer believes that such online activity affected the show’s contestants and influenced how audiences viewed the competition.
Dr Zee Khan, a Pakistani MBBS doctor, government officer, and social media personality, gained significant popularity through his viral TikTok videos. He has more than 1.8 million followers on TikTok and over 78,000 followers on Instagram. His popularity increased further after his participation in Tamasha 5, where he emerged as one of the season’s most entertaining contestants and secured a place among the top five contenders.
Following the conclusion of the reality show, Zee Khan has been appearing in interviews to discuss his experience inside the house and the events surrounding the competition. During a recent appearance on Rise and Shine, hosted by Nadia Khan and Zohaib Hassan, he shared his concerns about the online campaigns that allegedly took place during the season.
Dr Zee Khan Raises Concerns About Fake PR
During the interview, Zee Khan explained that he noticed an unusual pattern in social media comments about one of the female contestants. According to him, similar comments appeared repeatedly across different posts, making him question whether the public support was genuine.
He said that there was a clear difference between natural audience reactions and organised promotional campaigns. In his view, people familiar with social media could recognise when comments reflected genuine opinions and when they appeared to be part of a planned effort to influence public perception.
Zee Khan stressed that contestants and viewers were capable of identifying such patterns. He suggested that the repeated comments created the impression that one particular contestant had stronger public support than others.
The former contestant also discussed the difference between regular social media management and fake PR. He explained that managing official social media accounts was a common practice and was not necessarily a problem. However, he considered the use of suspicious accounts to create artificial support a separate issue.
Claims About Suspicious Social Media Accounts
Zee Khan further alleged that a strong online campaign was promoting one contestant as the rightful winner while the show was still attracting public attention.
According to his account, numerous comments appeared to support the same person, creating a particular narrative around the competition. He claimed that when the profiles behind some of these comments were examined, they appeared to be fake accounts.
He argued that such activity could affect the public image of other contestants by making one participant appear more popular than the rest. In a reality show where audience opinions and contestants’ public reputations play an important role, this kind of online activity can become a major talking point.
However, Zee Khan did not accuse the show’s voting system of being unfair. Instead, he distinguished between the official voting process and the conversations taking place on social media.
He maintained that his concerns were related to the alleged use of bots and suspicious accounts to promote a particular narrative, rather than the authenticity of the final voting results.
Debate Over Tamasha 5 Continues
Zee Khan’s remarks have brought fresh attention to the role of social media campaigns in reality television competitions. Online platforms have become important spaces where contestants build their public images, gain supporters, and maintain connections with audiences.
While genuine fan support can help contestants gain recognition, allegations of artificial engagement often raise questions about whether online popularity accurately reflects public opinion.
His comments also highlight the growing importance of transparency in digital promotion, particularly when several contestants are competing for public support.
Although the allegations discussed by Zee Khan have not been independently established, his statements have added another dimension to the conversation surrounding Tamasha 5.
As discussions about the season continue, the distinction between genuine audience engagement and organised online promotion remains an important issue for reality television fans and social media users.
