Saquib Chadhar clarified that his intention was never to insult the actress. He said his wife used to pray for Momina Iqbal’s marriage and questioned how he could have been involved in allegedly trying to prevent her marriage.

The PML-N lawmaker also spoke about Momina Iqbal’s sister, Ramsha, saying that he had always treated her like his own sister and provided her with financial and moral support.

He claimed that he helped send Ramsha to Australia for higher education and also helped her secure a job at a friend’s company there.

Saquib Chadhar further alleged that Ramsha secretly recorded a video of his friend during a cash transaction in Australia and later filed a harassment case against him. He claimed that Ramsha and her associates initially demanded 1 million Australian dollars, but the matter was eventually settled after 165,000 Australian dollars were paid.
