Maira defends Nazish Jahangir on fraud allegations

Actress Maira Khan believes that the allegations made by actor Aswad Haroon accusing Nazish Jahangir of fraud and deception will not be true.

Khan recently opened up about Jahangir’s cheating allegations on the FHM podcast.

“The public should not talk about Nazish Jahangir and the new actor accusing her. It was their affair; others have nothing to do with it,” she said, adding that both parties should learn the lesson from the entire fiasco.

“The boy, in his greed, gave everything to her, and when it was not fulfilled, he accused her and defamed her. It shows that it was not the actress but the person who was bad, who accused Nazish Jahangir,” she said.

A fraud case was filed against Nazish Jahangir by budding actor Aswad Haroon. Later, in an interview, the said actor claimed that he had given Nazish Jahangir lakhs of rupees in cash, a car worth over 50 lakhs, and other valuable gifts over the past few years. He alleged that the actress promised to introduce him as a hero in showbiz.

Mahira Khan remarked that Nazish Jahangir should not have done what she did: “She should have acted carefully; she was a well-known showbiz personality, she had a name, and she should not have spoiled his name and career.”

“Nazish Jahangir should have come forward on the issue of cheating and told the truth about the accuser,” she added.

According to Khan, “Actresses come forward and say that no one wanted to cast a person who gives cars, other gifts, and money in dramas; he cannot be a hero. There is no fault in that, but I don’t know why actresses don’t come forward.”

She also argued that Nazish Jahangir did not take the car and money from the actor “at gunpoint” and that the accuser gave everything “out of his love and affection, so there is no fault of the actress,” adding that the accuser is wrong; “why did he give money and valuable gifts to the actress?”

She further commented, “What happened if the said person could not become an actor and hero despite giving money? He gained fame by accusing the actress on social media, and now he is being talked about everywhere.”

Mahira Khan believes that the accuser has fulfilled his purpose in all the drama: “He got the fame he wanted; today, everyone is talking about him, he became famous. Now he should forget the car and money.”

Last month, in September, the local court of Lahore rejected Nazish Jahangir’s bail in the fraud case filed against her.
