The ride became the starting point of the friendship between Baloch and Subhan. In the car, she told him in her usual free-spirited manner that she was in no mood to return to the hotel and would love to grab some samosas before going back to her room.
After the show, the car that was to take her to the hotel broke down and a local reporter, Ahmed Subhan, was requested by the organisers to drop her. In August 2015, Baloch was modelling at a cultural show in Islamabad. When Baloch was asked at another show if Mathira was her inspiration, she shrugged her shoulders and retorted, ”Why should I follow a low-profile artist like Mathira?” If that was okay then appearing as a hired prop in a reality show and talking openly about it should also be okay, she seemed to suggest. She batted her heavily lined eyes as she pointedly referred to Mathira and asked if it was okay to “discard your clothes” or “do nude shoots” or “share inappropriate pictures on social media” to gain popularity. She was brought to the show to attract viewers through humour, she said. Baloch said she saw nothing wrong in talking about what she called an acting project. She called Baloch’s revelations “unprofessional” – something that maligned a big music platform.
Model and television host Mathira was also present during the interview. “Reality shows aren’t as real as people think.” When the host asked her about the audition, she was unabashed. A year later, Baloch was interviewed by a private television channel. Her ‘Pakistan Idol’ audition took place in 2013. This is how Qandeel Baloch first surfaced as a social media sensation. A video of the episode goes viral on the Internet. One of the judges escorts her out, only to let her continue her snivelling in front of cameras in the anteroom. She throws a tantrum, wailing loudly without shedding a single tear, and refuses to leave the stage. The judges exchange amused, awkward glances and reject her. She stumbles repeatedly as judges on the show direct her to a circle on the floor where she is supposed to stand and perform. Her name flashes on the screen along with the logo of ‘Pakistan Idol’. she sways and frolics her way up the stairs. Wearing round-rimmed sunglasses with her long straight hair falling at the middle of her back. A foot in high heels enters the frame, then another, followed by pink tights and a sleeveless green top.
