Tamasha 5: Viewers Call Out Laila for Allegedly Targeting Babrik

Tamasha Season 5 has entered its second week, and the reality show is already generating plenty of discussion among viewers. Since its August 8, 2026 premiere, the latest season has continued to spark conversations on social media, with house dynamics and contestants’ strategies becoming a major talking point.

The ARY Digital reality show, which first premiered in 2022, has built a strong following over the years. Inspired by the Big Brother format, Tamasha has returned with a new season each year and has become one of Pakistan’s most talked-about reality television franchises.

Season 5 is hosted by Adnan Siddiqui, who has been associated with the show since its first season. The production and creative development of the franchise are credited to Salman Iqbal and Jarjees Seja.

Laila’s Role as Wazir Sparks Debate

Following the first week of the competition, the official Wazir was nominated, leading to Laila taking on the role. She selected Dr. Zee as her advisor, but her decisions since assuming the position have drawn criticism from a section of the audience.

Viewers have particularly focused on her treatment of fellow contestant Babrik. According to the episode events described by fans, Laila has repeatedly confronted him over sitting around the house and questioned his contribution to household responsibilities.

She has also blamed Babrik for incidents involving her cards and has taken disciplinary action against him. One of the moments that attracted attention was her decision to send him to jail, which some viewers interpreted as an attempt to limit his visibility within the competition.

The ongoing confrontations between the two contestants have become a noticeable part of the season, with Laila frequently calling Babrik out during house interactions.

Fans Rally Behind Babrik

The situation has divided opinions, although a number of Tamasha viewers appear to believe that Babrik is being singled out.

Some fans have suggested that Laila’s repeated focus on Babrik may be linked to jealousy, while others argue that her attitude toward him has been consistent since the beginning of the season, even before she became Wazir.

One viewer suggested that Laila could be jealous of Babrik’s popularity and described him as having a strong “aura.” Another fan claimed that she had been biased toward him from the start.

Other viewers discussed her decisions during tasks and the way contestants were grouped, with one fan arguing that Babrik had worked hard despite not winning a particular task.

Support for Babrik was also evident in comments describing him as a “winner” in the eyes of viewers, regardless of how his journey inside the house develops.

Social Media Reacts to the Growing Tension

The discussion has extended beyond the episodes, with fans closely examining Laila’s behaviour and decisions as Wazir.

One viewer accused her of unnecessarily targeting Babrik, while another claimed that she talks about him frequently and has influenced other housemates against him.

At the same time, these reactions represent the opinions of viewers rather than an established fact about Laila’s intentions. Reality television naturally encourages strong audience reactions, and the changing relationships between contestants remain a central part of Tamasha 5.

With the season still in its early stages, the tension between Laila and Babrik could become one of the storylines audiences continue to follow as the competition progresses.
