Zayn's sister Walihya repoortedly took to Instagram to update 1D fans saying: "Don't worry guys, Zayn is going to be okay very soon. "All the stress has just gotten to him because of the rumours and hatred he has heard and received. "It's really hurting him, some people are just giving him too much. "People need to realise my brother is human too, stop hating him because he hasn't done anything to anybody, except for defending himself because of what people heard of what he did, but it isn't true. "I love my brother to death, and I do not want to lose him for anything, it hurts me to see him not feeling good". A picture posted to the Instagram account appears to show Walihya with Zayn The 16-year-old also asked fans to pray for her brother adding: "Please pray for my brother, please help him because I know he will be okay.
