Qandeel Baloch (Urdu: قندیل بلوچ; 1 March 1990 – 15 July 2016), birth name Fouzia Azeem (Urdu: فوزیہ عظیم), was a Pakistani model, actress and feminist activist. She was the country's first social media celebrity. Azeem rose to prominence due to her videos on social networks discussing her daily routine, her rights as a Pakistani woman, and various controversial issues.
Baloch first received recognition from the media in 2013, when she auditioned for Pakistan Idol; her audition became popular, and she became an Internet celebrity. She was one of the top 10 most searched-for persons on the internet in Pakistan and was both celebrated and criticised for the content of her videos and posts.
