Days after she celebrated her 17th birthday, social media celebrity Sana Yousaf was gunned down by 22-year-old Umar Hayat alias Kaka, outside her residence in Islamabad, for repeatedly turning down his friendship offer. She sustained two bullets and succumbed to her injuries on the spot.<\/p>\n

The prime suspect in the murder case was taken into custody on Tuesday<\/a>, confirmed Islamabad IG Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi in a press conference.<\/p>\n

The cold-blooded murder of Yousaf has sparked nationwide concern and condemnations, with celebrities also joining the calls of #JusticeForSana on social media.<\/p>\n

Taking to her Instagram stories, superstar Mahira Khan noted, \u201cCan\u2019t get myself to stop thinking about Sana Yousaf. A 17 year old, beautiful girl. She had just blown out candles, made wishes, maybe danced a little. And then.. in seconds.. gone. Shot dead. Over a bloody No.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut is it really about one moment? One second? One word? It\u2019s not,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt\u2019s the system. The way we\u2019ve raised men to believe they are owed something\u2014attention, affection, obedience. The way we fail, again and again, to protect the girls who dare to have a voice, a choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis didn\u2019t happen in a vacuum. It happened in a society that quietly allows it,\u201d Khan concluded.<\/p>\n

With a picture of the slain TikToker on her Instagram stories, actor Saba Qamar Zaman wrote, \u201cShe was only 17, a child with dreams, laughter, and light. Not just a daughter or a sister, but a soul that had just begun to bloom and now she\u2019s gone. Taken by cruelty. Silenced by a world that keeps failing its girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t just a loss it\u2019s a wound to our humanity. We owe her more than tears. We owe her justice and we owe every girl a world where she can live without fear,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

In a poignant reflection, actor Dur-e-Fishan Saleem noted, \u201cWomen\u2019s lives matter. They are not objects to be owned, silenced, or discarded when they say no. No one should live in fear of violence for asserting their basic rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFeminism isn\u2019t about hating men or insisting women do everything alone. It\u2019s a movement demanding equality, dignity, and safety\u2014a world where women can live freely and fully,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cShe said NO. And he broke into her house and killed her. That\u2019s it. That\u2019s the reality,\u201d noted Sehar Khan. \u201cGirls aren\u2019t safe, not outside, not online, not even in their own homes. I\u2019m numb. I\u2019m angry. I\u2019m scared. What kind of world are we living in, where saying \u2018no\u2019 costs you your life?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJustice is not enough. We need change. We need protection. We need to start listening before its too late again,\u201d she urged. \u201cRest in power, little one. Your voice won\u2019t fade. Not this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Taking to his Instagram handle, veteran actor Adnan Siddiqui noted, \u201cAs a father to two young daughters and a teenage boy, it\u2019s impossible not to see this tragedy through the lens of my own children\u2019s futures. A 17-year-old girl, full of life, with a world ahead of her, silenced in an act so brutal, so senseless, it isn\u2019t easy to comprehend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo fellow parents, especially those raising sons, we have a responsibility that goes beyond academics or achievement. We need to raise emotionally intelligent boys who know how to handle disappointment, who understand that \u201cno\u201d is a full sentence, and who never confuse control with love,\u201d he suggested. \u201cThe safety of our daughters and the dignity of our sons depend on what we teach them now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

Singer Asim Azhar, while he expressed his anger and frustration at the untimely demise of Yousaf, urged the parents of young boys to raise them into good men.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201c\u00c5 light extinguisher because she wasn\u2019t in accordance with what others thought she should be! Such a tragic senseless loss of young life full of promises,\u201d noted Zhalay Sarhadi and hoped that the perpetrators would face the action soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Former actor and wife of Hamza Ali Abbasi turned to her X handle and noted, \u201cA 17 year old girl Sana Yousaf was shot in the capital of Pakistan. How many more daughters must we\u00a0 lose before women are safe here? When will just existing stop being a risk for us?! Sana didn\u2019t deserve this. No woman does! May justice prevail.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Celebrated actors like Mawra Hocane, Sajal Aly, Mohib Mirza, Osman Khalid Butt and Ayesha Omar were among others who demanded justice for Sana Yousaf.\"\"<\/p>\n
