Beyond entertainment, Sana collaborated with brands and encouraged other young women to express themselves through her expanding online following. What happened? On Monday — the day she turned 17 — Sana Yousaf was shot and killed at her home in Islamabad's G-13 sector.

Not the first such incident in Pakistan Tragically, Sana Yousaf's death is not an isolated case. Pakistan has seen several similar incidents in recent years, where young girls have been targeted for their social media presence. Earlier this year, a 15-year-old girl named Hira was shot dead in Quetta, allegedly by her father and maternal uncle, in what police suspect was an honour killing linked to her activity on TikTok. Reports later revealed that Hira's father, Anwarul-Haq, had warned her to stop posting videos online. When she refused, he allegedly conspired with his brother-in-law, Tayyab Ali, to kill her. And in 2016, one of Pakistan's most high-profile honour killing cases made headlines worldwide. Social media star Qandeel Baloch, known for challenging conservative norms, was strangled by her own brother. He was later convicted of her murder and sentenced to life in prison. Baloch often sparked controversy for her bold persona, famously offering to strip for the Pakistani cricket team and wearing a plunging red dress on Valentine's Day. She drew criticism and threats, but also admiration from many, especially young Pakistanis. According to AFP, she was seen by supporters as 'breaking new ground in a country where presenting yourself as a Kim Kardashian-like figure can be seen as a bold, political act of women's empowerment.'
