She was willing to strip for the Pakistani cricket team, if it beat India.
Life, indeed, was cheap.
She posted this picture of a Muslim [religious] cleric secretly ogling her (Qandeel’s) photographs
The Pakistani newspaper The Nation seems to have published the picture.
Translation: A woman, too, can rob a man of his honour. If you don’t believe this, ask Mufti Qavi.
‘Robbing of honour’ is a euphemism for rape.
Fatima Baloch wrote, ‘Is oRat ko bsss Fame Chaiye jis k liye yeh ab yeh Muslims ko b derail karhi hy or second is Molvi Ko tou goli Maardeni chaiye bullshit’ (This woman only wants fame. She is trying to derail the Muslims. Secondly, this Moulvi should be shot dead.’
However, Tania Jvd noticed that ther was a ‘Halal [kosher] distance’ between the two.
Some Pakistani girls appreciated Qandeel’s honesty.
The self-styled ‘QueenNaela Irene’ replied, ‘Ur getting naked that's what u are! Embarrassing’
The quote in red (bottom left) has Qandeel Baloch asking, ‘How m looking? Tell me how m looking?’
Men like Jalal Arya responded with comments like, ‘So hot’ (and worse comments)
Girls like PYari Behna (‘sweet sister’) fumed, ‘BeHya’ (shameless)
One Ahsan Ullah commented ‘Tu bi is tarha apna picture sher kar’ (You should share this kind of a picture of yourself’
Qandeel replied. ‘Main etni easy nahi hun ok’ (I am not that ‘easy,’ OK?)

Highlights
Qandeel Baloch, Pakistani model, killed by brother The Times of India TNN & Agencies | Jul 16, 2016
Qandeel Baloch was killed by her brother.
Baloch had been likened to Kim Kardashian.
She had been frequently posting bold pictures of her on social media sites
Early life
Fouzia (later Qandeel) was born on the 1st March, 1990 in Dera Ghazi Khan, Pakistan
She was married to Ashiq Hussain from 2008 to 2010. They had a son.
Her real name was Fouzia Azeem but she chose Qandeel Baloch as her nom de guerre after stepping into modelling.
The Baloch people were not amused. One Shahid Baloch wrote about Qandeel, ‘Qandeel baloch nai han aur please dobara baloch ka naam is na jurhna Q k baloch Alhamdullah izat dar hothi’ (Qandeel is not a Baloch and, please, she should stop associating the name Baloch with her own because the Baloch people, Allah be praised, are a respectable people [people with a sense of honour].’
Fouzia/Qandeel was variously described as an actor and model. She saw herself as a guitar playing pop singer as well. However, just as Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton were generally known to be 'famous for being famous,' Qandeel's main profession, according to Google, was that she was a 'YouTuber'
Qandeel was active in the public imagination for less than a year before her untimely murder on the 15th July, 2016.
Profile
Owais Qarni, The Express Tribune published this on June 24, 2016, just three weeks before Qandeel’s murder.
The model belongs to the tribal area of Shah Sadar Din of District Dera Ghazi Khan in south Punjab, and started her career as a bus hostess.
She eloped with her boyfriend in 2004 while still in school, and claims to have visited South Africa, Middle East and other western countries.
Though she is reviled by many and frequently subjected to misogynist abuse online, Qandeel has won praise by a segment of youth for her forthright attitude.
On Valentine’s Day, she donned a plunging scarlet dress and posted a video message defying President Mamnoon Hussain, who had issued a stern warning against the “Western” holiday. The post garnered more than 70,000 ‘likes’.
Threats
She had received threats from her family to quit modeling and her provocative appearances on social media. Her brother had been threatening her over her Facebook posts and videos , said the police.
Three weeks ago, she had written to the interior minister, the director general of the Federal Investigation Authority (FIA) and the senior superintendent of Islamabad asking them to provide security to her, Dawn reported.
She had said her life is in danger and that she is being threatened via calls on her mobile number and that she did not have security measures installed in her home, the paper said.
Qandeel was media sensation and unbelievably bold and was also considered highly controversial. She shot to fame in Pakistan in 2014 after a video of her pouting for the camera.
She became famous through her tireless self-promotion and suggestive "selfies" posted on social media and had amassed tens of thousands of followers.
She had expressed her desire many times to marry ex-cricketer and opposition politician Imran Khan.
Her controversial pictures recently led to the suspension of Mufti Qawi's membership from the Ruet-e-Hilal committee.
Bigg Boss
In 2016 there was a buzz about Qandeel Baloch appearing on India’s Bigg Boss reality TV how. Qandeel Baloch was asked if she had filled the online form on the Colors website. She replied, “Why should I fill out a form? Those are for common people, not celebrities!”
She was right. It was Colors' privilege to have her on the show.
Hatred against Qandeel builds up
Hours after Qandeel’s murder ‘Sg Pm’ wrote on her Facebook page, ‘No killing ever made me such happy.hats off to the brother. Wish i could see her dying in live video. Tawdry attention whore #Rot_in_hell_bitch #righteous_kill’
The ratio of people with Muslim-sounding names who agreed with ‘Sg Pm’ and disagreed with him was 2 in his favour, one against him.
But this hatred had been building up.
Music video released a day after Edhi’s death Six days before her murder, on 9 July 2016, Qandeel posted her latest—and fairly raunchy—music video (see pictures). Pakistan’s greatest son, the philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi, had died only the day before and the Ramzan fasts had ended three days before.
One Muneeza Khan used this to blast Qandeel, ‘Idher laug EidhiSab ki wafat ka saug mana rahe hain [Here people are mourning the demise of Edhi saheb] and this woman is showing off her body in this pathetic song. I dont hate u but what is the point of doing all this right after ramzan?’
A very large number of Facebook users agreed with Muneeza Khan’s views.
Tariq Ajmal added, ‘Theres a line between porn type musical videos and bollywood style dance stuff. What were they thinking? … And qandeel did whats expected. We need to stop this thinking that vulgarity and open mindness or educated thoughtfulness are the same. Even animals are covered with hair. And look at these two.’
With hindsight even we liberals wonder, ‘What were they thinking?’ Pakistan was clearly not ready for such a blatant display of female sexuality.
Taunting the Mufti (A Mufti is the highest-ranking Islamic cleric of a region; the head of the regional ifta, which provides guidance in matters of religion) Three weeks before her murder Qandeel created a video in which she sent a ‘poisonous message to the Mufti [Mufti ko Zehreela Peghaam] hahahhahahaha it will give u cancer lolzzz’
Through that coquettish video Qandeel, homorously, took on the religious establishment.
Eid ul Fitr (6 July 2016) Qandeel wished all her followers, ‘Eid Mubarak.’ However, she got a sermon in return.
Muhammad Fiaz said, ‘Eid mubarak to you. qandeel u should contact with your family also. it may they forgive u and u become a first model of our area.’
This showed that there were serious tensions within her family regarding her modelling and that they were not in contact with each other.
The murder
Pakistan's social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch was killed allegedly by her brother in Multan in Punjab province, becoming the latest victim of "honour killings" that plague the country.
The 26-year-old actor-cum-model was killed in central district of Multan on Friday 15 July 2016 night, police said.
Police said apparently she was killed by her brother named Wasim, who has fled after the incident.
"She was suffocated to death by strangulation. It seems to be a case of honour killing but we are investigating it," district police chief Azhar Akram said.
