Zayb Khan, one of the popular contestants of Tamasha 5, has opened up about his feelings for Esra Ayesha after his unexpected elimination from the reality show. His recent Instagram live has attracted attention as he discussed Esra’s emotional reaction to his departure and revealed how he feels about her.
Zayb’s elimination came as a surprise to many viewers. During the show, Adnan Siddiqui described him as one of the top players in the house. However, he explained that a few mistakes eventually contributed to Zayb’s exit from the competition.
Esra Ayesha appeared particularly affected by Zayb’s elimination. The contestant, who had developed a close bond with him during their time in the Tamasha 5 house, broke down in tears after he left. Her emotional reaction quickly became a talking point among viewers.
Following his exit, Zayb appeared on Instagram Live and addressed several questions about his experience in the house. He also spoke about Esra and the people who remained around her after his departure.
During the live session, Zayb explained that he had suggested his actor friend Ahmed as a possible guest for the Tamasha team. However, the team did not agree to bring Ahmed into the house. Instead, they wanted Zayb’s family to visit.
Zayb explained that his family could not participate because they are conservative and do not feel comfortable appearing on camera. He also mentioned that his family is from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and preferred to stay away from the cameras.
The conversation then turned toward Esra and her emotional state following his elimination. Zayb said he understood that Esra was experiencing pain and grief after he left the house.
“When I left the house, I asked Hassan to take care of her,” Zayb said during the live session. He added that Hassan was looking after Esra well after his departure.
Zayb also mentioned Babrik while discussing Esra. According to him, Babrik visited Esra once or twice to check on her. Zayb admitted that he did not particularly like Babrik going over to see her, although he ultimately decided to let the matter go.
His comments about Esra became even more noticeable when viewers saw him holding an Esra locket during the Instagram live. Zayb repeatedly tossed and caught the locket while speaking to the camera, drawing attention to the sentimental connection he appeared to have with it.
Zayb further explained that he genuinely cares about Esra. He described himself as someone who does not always show his emotions publicly. Unlike people who openly cry or express their feelings in front of cameras, he said he prefers to remain strong and keep his emotions to himself.
His statements and actions have now sparked mixed reactions among Tamasha 5 viewers. While some believe Zayb genuinely cares about Esra, others remain doubtful about the nature of his feelings.
One viewer commented that they did not believe Zayb was actually in love with Esra and suggested that he may have been pretending for the cameras.
Another viewer told Zayb to stop repeatedly mentioning Babrik and accused him of being jealous of his fellow contestant.
A third viewer claimed that Zayb’s animosity toward Babrik was still visible even after his elimination, suggesting that he had not completely moved on from their issues inside the house.
Despite the divided reactions, Zayb’s Instagram live has once again brought his bond with Esra Ayesha into the spotlight. His comments, along with the locket he held during the session, have left viewers discussing whether their connection will continue beyond the Tamasha 5 house.
