The notion of surgical obsession was also exposed; although she had minor cosmetic procedures like filler on her lips and nose work, technology was mostly responsible for her terrifying appearance.
But ultimately, the viral fame that had made it an internet sensation faded. The Sahar was detained in 2019 just 19 years old as part of a larger investigation against Iranian internet influence.
She was charged by the police with crimes ranging from encouraging immorality to disdaining Islamic principles and harming children.
It was given a ten-year prison sentence for “moral corruption” and “disrespect for the Islamic Republic,” despite the fact that part of the charges were dropped.
Widespread convictions and international indignation followed the sentence. The Sahara imprisonment was shortened as a result of the public outcry and mounting international pressure.
Following roughly 15 months of service, she was granted early release. The audience was astonished by its re-discovery on Iranian state television.
