Singer Abrar-ul-Haq and journalist Safina Khan engaged in a heated confrontation in London, with videos of their argument going viral on social media.

 

The dispute stems from a video that surfaced earlier showing Abrar-ul-Haq pocketing a five pound note during a charity event. The footage sparked criticism and gave the impression that the singer was mishandling charitable donations.

In the confrontation video, Abrar-ul-Haq accused Safina Khan of spreading the clip to gain attention and views. He also labeled her a PML-N affiliated journalist.

 

"Bibi, kya aap ko marna nahi hai? Aap chand views ke liye apni qabar mein keeray bhar rahi hain (Ma'am, don't you have to die? You are filling your grave with worms for a few views)," Abrar-ul-Haq said.

 

Safina Khan defended herself, saying she was not even present at the concert and only shared what others had posted.

 

"I wasn't at your concert at all. We only posted what your people had put up," she responded.

 

The singer explained his side of the story, claiming the incident was being misrepresented.

 

"I bought the land with my own money. The government didn't give me the land. During the concert, someone handed me a five pound note. Should I have taken it to the bank?" he asked.

However, a second video later emerged showing the two sitting down and resolving the matter amicably. In the footage, Safina Khan explains to Abrar-ul-Haq that she was not at the concert and did not create the video.

 

Abrar-ul-Haq responded by saying that people can say whatever they want, but the hospital being built is named after his mother, which is why the allegations hurt him deeply.

 

Abrar-ul-Haq's Punjabi songs remain staples at Pakistani weddings and celebrations, with hits like "Billo De Ghar" and "Chamkeeli Baraat Le Ke Aap Aayi Ae" among his most famous tracks.

 

The singer briefly entered politics and joined Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf but later announced his departure from political life. He also serves as the founder and chairman of Sahara for Life Trust, a private charitable organization.
