Khala ji, khayal se! Shagufta Ejaz’s fearless zipline leap leaves netizens stunned
Veteran Pakistani actress Shagufta Ejaz has surprised fans with a thrilling zipline adventure during her UK vacation, facing her fear of heights at Velocity 2 in Wales.
Shagufta shared glimpses of the adventure with her followers, documenting her visit to Zip World at Penrhyn Quarry in Snowdonia. Although she was hesitant at first, her daughter Anya encouraged her to step outside her comfort zone and give the experience a try.
In her vlog, Shagufta revealed that she initially refused to go on the zipline, even when Anya offered to pay for the ride. She eventually changed her mind and decided to take the challenge.
After completing the ride, Shagufta appeared delighted with her decision. Reflecting on the experience, she said, “What an experience! Why didn’t I do it before? I felt like an eagle.” Her reaction showed that the adventure turned out to be much more enjoyable than she had expected.
Shagufta also thanked Anya for encouraging her to overcome her hesitation. She captioned the vlog, “I finally did it, fought my fear,” explaining the personal meaning behind the experience. The caption reflected her sense of achievement after facing something she had initially been afraid to try.
During the UK trip, Shagufta also shared pictures with her daughters as they explored Wales, visited scenic lakes and enjoyed the surrounding landscapes. The family getaway gave the actress an opportunity to spend quality time with her daughters while experiencing new activities together.
The zipline video, however, received mixed reactions online. Many viewers praised Shagufta for her adventurous spirit and appreciated her decision to try something outside her usual comfort zone. Others were concerned about the safety of the activity and questioned whether Anya should have encouraged her mother to take part.
One user directly addressed Anya, writing, “Anya you should not have pushed n forced your mother for zip line. She’s not your age n not that strong. Be careful next time.”
Another commenter made a critical remark about Shagufta’s age, while another jokingly warned her to be careful because recovering from a bone injury could be difficult later in life. At the same time, several viewers appreciated the mother-daughter bond and praised Anya for encouraging Shagufta to enjoy the adventure.
Shagufta Ejaz has remained a familiar face in Pakistani television for more than three decades. She gained recognition through classic PTV productions such as Aanch and Jangloos and later appeared in projects including Kashkol, Zindan, Baiti, Meri Bahuain and Bulbulay. She continues to remain active in the entertainment industry.
Her latest adventure has now given fans a lighter glimpse into her life, with the actress turning an ordinary holiday outing into a memorable personal challenge. While some viewers focused on the risks involved, others applauded Shagufta for confronting her fear and enjoying the experience with her daughters.
