"Attention-grabbing tactics:" Hina lashes out at Behroze for accusing Imran Khan of drinking alcohol

Veteran actor Hina Khwaja Bayat slammed Behroze Sabzwari for making unverified claims that former Prime Minister Imran Khan consumed alcohol, stating that "his statement appears to be a tactic to garner public attention".

Taking to Instagram, Hina Khwaja Bayat addressed rumours about Imran Khan's alleged alcohol consumption. While she did not explicitly mentioned any names, it was clear she was referencing the actor.

“There is a new trend which involves people who lack public attention or praise for their own work resorting to podcasts to make disparaging claims about popular personalities," she said in a video.

The "Churails" actor maintained that Behroze framed his remarks as a concern but ultimately damaged Imran Khan’s reputation.

“By saying such things, you claim the person is being wrongly defamed, yet you are the one making defamatory statements,” she added. 

Hina further argued that this approach prioritises gaining attention and popularity through negativity, and by damaging others' reputations.

Recently, Behroze Sabzwari appeared on a podcast where he attempted to defend the PTI founder against allegations of cocaine consumption. 

However, his defense came across as strange and contradictory, as he simultaneously mentioned that Imran Khan never drank alcohol more than one glass.

"I've drunk alcohol with him many times, he never took drink more than one glass," the Chand Tara actor said.

Netizens had criticised Sabzwari's comments. They found it strange that he refuted Khan's alleged drug use while highlighting his alcohol consumption.
