Sahar Tabar first went viral online with her strange, doll-like selfies. Many thought she had many surgeries to look like Angelina Jolie. Others believed it was all digital edits. In truth, it was Fatemeh Khishvand, a young woman from Iran using makeup, digital tools, and a few minor cosmetic tweaks to make art.
She wanted to show a new side of beauty and identity. Her posts got millions of views very quickly. People shared, liked, and argued about her photos. Some were amazed, others shocked. But in 2019, things went very wrong. Iranian authorities arrested her for showing values against the country’s rules.
At first, some reports said she could face ten years in prison. The news shocked fans worldwide. She ended up in jail for about 14 months. That time changed her life and showed how online fame can be dangerous. After her release, Sahar explained the truth. Her look was partly fake and mostly art. She said, “It was not to scare anyone.
It was a way to show my ideas and creativity.” Many saw her as brave, while others saw her as a warning about the risks of online attention. Today, Sahar Tabar is remembered not just for her strange selfies but for her story. It shows how the internet can bring fame and danger at the same time. Her journey reminds everyone to think about art, safety, and the limits of online fame in today’s world.
