In a fresh development in the mysterious death case of actress and model Humaira Asghar, police have uncovered that she had been using two separate Computerized National Identity Cards (CNICs), raising questions about her identity and personal history.
According to investigators, Humaira altered her original CNIC to change her birthdate. The original identity card listed her date of birth as October 10, 1983, while the tampered version showed October 10, 1997. Police believe the doctored CNIC was used for professional purposes in the entertainment industry.
Copies of both identity documents have reportedly been obtained by media outlets. Authorities are continuing their investigation into how and why the actress maintained dual identification.
Humaira Asghar’s body was discovered on July 8, 2025, when Gizri Police, accompanied by a court bailiff, entered her fourth-floor apartment in Karachi’s Ittehad Commercial Area to enforce an eviction order. The action was initiated by the landlord over unpaid rent dating back to April 2024. Neighbors had reported a foul smell, but the proximity of a long-vacant adjacent flat may have delayed detection. The apartment was found locked from the inside, suggesting she was alone at the time of death.
Originally born on October 10, 1992, in Lahore, Humaira Asghar Ali was a multi-talented artist. A graduate of the National College of Arts (NCA) with degrees in Fine Arts, TV, and Film, she later pursued an M.Phil from Punjab University.
Humaira began her career as a model in 2013, working with top Pakistani designers, before making a name for herself as an actress in television and film. She gained notable recognition after appearing in the film Jalaibee (2015) and became a familiar face following her appearance on Tamasha Ghar in 2022.
Beyond acting, she was also a painter, sculptor, and fitness enthusiast, sharing her journey with over 715,000 followers on Instagram. Her final social media post, dated September 30, 2024, showed no visible signs of distress, although her online inactivity in recent months suggested she had withdrawn from the public eye.
As investigations into both her identity and cause of death continue, the case has raised questions about the pressures and complexities faced by public figures behind the scenes.
