اداکارہ حمیرا اصغر کی تنہائی بھری زندگی کا دردناک پہلو سامنے آگیا

لاہور — اداکارہ حمیرا اصغر کی اچانک موت کے بعد ان کی زندگی کے وہ پہلو بھی سامنے آنا شروع ہو گئے ہیں جن سے اُن کی خاموش تکلیف اور اندرونی ٹوٹ پھوٹ کا اندازہ ہوتا ہے۔

ذرائع کے مطابق، حمیرا اصغر پچھلے 7 سالوں سے لاہور میں ایک کرائے کے فلیٹ میں تنہا زندگی گزار رہی تھیں۔ ان کے قریبی حلقے نے انکشاف کیا ہے کہ وہ نہ صرف مالی مشکلات کا شکار تھیں بلکہ ذہنی دباؤ نے بھی انہیں اندر سے توڑ کر رکھ دیا تھا۔

کرایہ نہ دینے پر دباؤ

اداکارہ پچھلے ایک سال سے اپنے فلیٹ کا کرایہ ادا نہیں کر پا رہی تھیں، اور فلیٹ کے مالک کی جانب سے اُن پر بار بار کرایہ ادا کرنے کے لیے دباؤ ڈالا جا رہا تھا۔ قریبی ذرائع کا کہنا ہے کہ کئی بار مالک مکان نے انہیں فلیٹ خالی کرنے کی دھمکی بھی دی، لیکن حمیرا کے پاس اتنے وسائل نہیں تھے کہ وہ کہیں اور جا سکیں۔

کام کی کمی اور سوشل بائیکاٹ

شوبز میں کئی برس گزارنے کے بعد بھی حمیرا اصغر کو کام ملنا بند ہو چکا تھا۔ ان کے کردار اور طرزِ زندگی پر سوال اٹھائے جاتے رہے، جس کی وجہ سے کئی پروڈیوسرز نے ان سے رابطہ ختم کر دیا۔ وہ سوشل میڈیا پر بھی غیر فعال ہو چکی تھیں، اور دوستوں و خاندان سے ان کا رابطہ نہ ہونے کے برابر رہ گیا تھا۔

والدین کا انکار اور آخری تنہائی

جیسے کہ پہلے رپورٹ کیا گیا، ان کے والد نے پولیس کو لاش لینے سے صاف انکار کر دیا اور کہا کہ “ہمارا اس سے کوئی تعلق نہیں۔” یہ بات مزید تقویت دیتی ہے کہ حمیرا کی زندگی آخری دنوں میں مکمل طور پر تنہائی، غربت، اور نظراندازی کا شکار ہو چکی تھی۔

شوبز حلقوں کا ردعمل

اداکارہ کے قریبی دوستوں نے اس واقعے پر گہرا دکھ اور افسوس کا اظہار کیا ہے۔ مشہور اداکارہ ریما خان نے انسٹاگرام پر لکھا:

“ایک فنکار کو عزت، تحفظ اور پیار چاہیے۔ حمیرا جیسی باصلاحیت لڑکی کا یوں دنیا سے جانا لمحہ فکریہ ہے۔”
