Actress and model Zainab Raza has addressed rumours of her relation to former military ruler Pervez Musharraf, clarifying that the ex-president was not her grandfather.

 

During her appearance on Nida Yasir's morning show, she openly talked about a number of things.

 

Zainab said that whenever she shared pictures of her parents on social media, people commented that they were the late Pervez Musharraf's daughter and son-in-law. She, however, rubbished the claims and explained that her mother was not the former president's daughter.

 

“Pervez Musharraf is not my maternal grandfather, and people should stop spreading false information about me.”

 

The Bharam actress shared that she was born in Dubai, and received early education there.

 

“I am the first person in my family to choose showbiz. I didn't initially plan on pursuing a career in entertainment or modelling," Zainab said.

 

“99% of the information about me on the internet, including Google, is incorrect. There are a lot of rumours about me,” she complained, admitting that she often put in her name on the search engine.

 

“I didn't come from America, and I am not 23 years old. I am 26. Most of the information about me is entirely incorrect,” the Tamasha contestant said.

 

Zainab also expressed frustration that her best friend Ahmed Memon was often labelled as her boyfriend on YouTube and other websites, whereas she only considered him a good friend and brother.

 Earlier, ‘Tamasha Ghar’ contestant and model Zainab Raza gave an interview to Irfanistan where she addressed the consistent online backlash to her choice of outfits, and shut down her haters by reminding them that what she chooses to wear is her own choice.

 

“My life, my rules. I know what I have to wear at any place. I wouldn’t walk in Khadda Market wearing a skirt; I’d wear normal clothes. I know that it’s comfortable to wear what I want, so I do it.”

 

The model went on to criticise the hypocrisy of Pakistani men by pointing out how they will ogle and appreciate pictures of models Gigi and Bella Hadid, who are both Muslims, and have been spotted wearing revealing clothes, but will slut-shame Pakistani women endlessly if they do the same.

 

“Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid are both Muslims. The same men will like their pictures but since we’re Pakistani Muslims, they’ll insult and slut-shame us if we do the same.”
