NEWS PAKISTAN EDITOR INSTEP> Amna Haider Isani exposed!! Fan of Farah Khan Ali and hugging Hrithik Roshan. Whose payroll are you on? October 14, 2009
The picture above shows AMNA HAIDER ISANI EDITOR INSTEP, FASHION SEGMENT OF NEWS. Operates under JANG GROUP and GEO. A fan of Farah Khan and hugging Hrithik Roshan. Our media is sick. This is part of a bribe to her for attacking me against Farah.
Shame on you News / GEO group for accepting this bribe.
You are a Pakistani publication. Your advertising and readership are from Pakistan. In short your dal roti is from the land of the pure. You are there to showcase Pakistani talent. You come across a story trashing a Pakistani national vs a Bharati, which is hinged on shakey evidence at best. What do you do?
Write a full page article trashing Pakistani’s and brown nosing a couple of Hindustani’s. Not unless you are bought, bribed and on an Indian payroll. Amna Haider Isani is a traitor and perhaps a RAW agent. I want to know who pays her salary. Some Bharati for sure. She is a threat to the very artists she is supposed to showcase. Who has paid her to attack Pakistani’s in favour of Indians. Is this what a publication promoting Pakistan should be doing?
Indians have shemelessly copied our, songs, tunes, lyrics and clothes. Even if you thought the worst of me, I cant think of one Indian publication who would do what you have done. No Indian has commited such treason. Shame on you News Instep and Mrs Isani. Why don’t you officially join an Hindustani paper?
Well even they would never hire a traitor like you.

A HEIST?? Is this a fair headline even if THE NEWS believed the worst of me? Amna Haider Isani are you an Indian journalist? October 12, 2009
The editor of Instep a good friend of Zahir Rahimtoola published this full page provocative article against me. A hiest refers to a robbery. Is this a fair accusation even if they believed the worst of me. More than the slander and lies in the wording I was amazed how they can promote Indian designers and trash their own. To me this is treason.
Even if they believed the worst of me the article was a very personal attack. Aamna Haider Isani is a personal friend of the Labels group. This is a sick and sad tale of a bunch of petty and jealous people.
Labels in the Header of the (late) rouge web site Style Stripped. October 11, 2009
Again a snap of Style Stripped in their usual style accusing designers under cover. They used the site to bad mouth Pakistani talent in a manner which convicted the designers before they had a chance to a jury. This web site was not constructive to the world of fashion and in fact was a platform to attack the hard working and developing fashion industry of Pakistan.
I thank all the people who have written in to me for your support. I am not a part of any fashion group. I am a Pakistani designer who was minding her own business but was doing too well too fast. This was a nasty attack against me. I am no hero. i have merely stood up for myself.
I have renewed respect for all the people in our design industry who have done well. I now know the obstacles they have had to face.
Zahir Rahimtoola of Labels behind Style Stripped October 4, 2009
I landed in Pakistan at about midnight, and logged in to check my messages. Earlier than I had anticipated PakInsider on Twitter had named and revealed the faces behind the anonymous rogue website STYLE STRIPPED, which has been on my case since May 2009. I must admit that at this stage the names were hardly a surprise . The pieces of the puzzle have all fallen into place. The picture is crystal clear.
The names revealed are Zahir Rahimtoola of Labels and Sherezad Hashwani his wife, whom I assume believes, she is a competitor of mine. The entire saga has come full circle. The jealousy and personal vengeance with which I have been attacked is from people who feel my burgeoning business had directly affected them. I had been perplexed for months at who on earth could carry out such a targeted, nasty attack which felt more like a personal vendetta, but now it all makes perfect sense.
I checked e-mails to me, from Zahir Rahimtoola alias Aly Mason. They started with enquiries about jewelry pieces and request for images as well as price enquiries. I am going to post all these letters up for the world to see. These began on the 30th of May 2009 and Mr Rahimtoola and his accomplice obviously followed my Facebook page and updates diligently. My successful work was hurting their jewelry business and they were following my movements like hawks. On Facebook they are both friends with Ms Farah Khan Ali. However I do not know any thing about their friendship. I do not believe that she knew they were the faces behind SS. In their web of undercover operations Farah may have been a casualty just like myself. I cannot comment on this bit of the equation. I simply have no idea.
Pakinsider has merely completed the formalities of revealing the identity of these two. I am not so gullible that I have taken just his Tweets as gospel. I have done my homework and also have personal intelligence that confirms whatever PakInsider has revealed. I have verified through multiple agencies that these two are my culprits. It is a nasty, sick tale of business insecurity.
By the grace of God, my work speaks for itself and in a short space of time I have earned a good name, reputation of professionalism and every success. These two felt directly threatened and then lay out this ridiculous plan to try and bring me down. I would like to add here, that success is never an accident. It is in fact a culmination of hard work, dedication and sacrifice.
Mr Z Rahimtoola and his wife have been personally helped by my family when they were in dire straits. We helped them when nobody else was willing to take on their problems. They could not take thwack me publicly so they chose this undercover mode of anonymous attack. They hacked my facebook page with planted on it sketches of jewelry from Farah Ali Khan’s website. They then contacted her and instigated her against me. They have sent me nasty and abusive messages after that. All of which I am going to post on my blog. It is sickening the way they have behaved, and the lengths they have gone to attack me, my family and my work.
For those who feel I may look to take revenge on this sad couple, you are wrong. No revenge I take on them can be more potent than the harm they have done to themselves. They have struck at their friends and relations through this nasty web site. For one, Sherry Rahman was always a fan of Sherezad. They plastered Sherry’s pictures across their demented website. Tearing her apart, and abusing her make up. Shameful behavior. They have dug a grave so deep for themselves, that just to have to lie in it, is sad enough. What sort of people strike their own friends, their clients and their supporters? They have also sold out their own country. They have abused a Pakistani and sold her out with a hate campaign and a pack of lies to an Indian designer. Mr Rahimtoola showcases many local designers at his shop in Karachi LABELS. He obviously has little regard for their work as Pakistani’s. The duo are too cowardly to say what they think and so use this undercover method of attack against the very people who have been there for them.
They must be eaten up by their inferiority complexes already. I have just pity for them. The story has come full circle. Although horrifically appalled, I am now the wiser for it. I have paid the highest price for my success, but this is life. I also reap the rewards, and nobody can take that away from me. I am glad the curtain has been lifted for the world to see.
Added Note: Style stripped has closed since the exposure
After Tweeking a new “very sweet about everyone” Style Stripped Fashion Portal of Pakistan has emerged. Z R is behind it!! October 2, 2009
How hilarious!! A couple of hours after exposure threats, SS dissapeared for about 24 hrs. SS tweeted that it was being tweeked!!! When it came back on air, the flavour of the rouge nasty website has been drastically transformed. Instead of a vengeful portal, with nasty allegations and accusations it is now saying nice sweet and complentary things about everyone. It now feels like a feel good portal. ZR is obviously getting the jitters about being exposed and wants the finale to be as soft a landing as possible.
Sherry Rahman’s page , which was down right nasty has vanished. Sherry is a client of ZR it has been tweeted and so there is a quick move to make sure no negative articles are on the site when the true face of ZR is Tweeted to the public. InshaAllah in about 10-12 days. Many other comments along with other pages ragging social and fashion personalities who were being dragged through the mud, have been deleted.
The most poignant addition is Mrs A Taseer on the front and SS complementing her beautiful smile. She does in fact have one of the most beautiful smiles in the world ZR, but if you think this makes up for your low life behavior against me and my family…..you are wrong my friend.
I hope you are exposed. You, my dear have dug your own grave!!
