Pakistani actress Nawal Saeed has issued a statement addressing the controversy regarding her statement about getting DMed by cricket stars, particularly Shoaib Malik
In her Instagram story update, she urged people to refrain from spreading baseless rumors, urging the importance of exercising caution with one’s words and actions, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.
The actress from “Bikhray Hain Hum” emphasized the need for awareness about the potential harm caused by sensationalizing insignificant matters for social media attention, particularly when it involves falsely implicating individuals.
She clarified that although she did mention receiving messages from Pakistani cricketers in a previous show, she did not disclose any specific names and skillfully avoided controversial questions.
Moreover, the “Jaan-e-Jahan” actress absolved cricketer Shoaib Malik from any involvement in the controversy, confirming that his name was not mentioned in the show.
During a recent interview, Nawal Saeed reiterated the validity of her previous statement but refrained from directly acknowledging Malik when prompted by the host.
“I understand the curiosity surrounding celebrities,” Saeed continued, “but it’s crucial to respect people’s privacy. Making assumptions based on incomplete information can be hurtful.”
The actress further requested interviewers to handle the topic tactfully, avoiding leading questions that could spark controversy.
