Behroze Sabzwari says Imran Khan never drank more than one glass of alcohol

Renowned Pakistani actor Behroze Sabzwari spilled the beans on the time he had spent with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan.

The Chand Tara actor recently appeared in an FHM podcast hosted by Adnan Faisal, where he discussed his drama career, his family, and his relationship with the former prime minister.

Talking about Mr Khan's imprisonment at Adiala jail, Sabzwari expressed hope that prisoner 804, the PTI founder's jail number, will win "because he is righteous".

"I've spent 24 years with him [Imran Khan]," the actor noted.

Sharing an anecdote from the past when the 72-year-old politician's entry was banned in Karachi, the Thora Sa Haq actor said that he advised Imran Khan not to lash MQM's chief Altaf Hussain.

"[...] It's his weakness that he doesn't have flexibility," Sabzwari said.

Giving shock to many Imran Khan supporters, Sabzwari revealed that the veteran politician was used to consuming alcohol, however, he refuted the claims that the PTI founder was addicted to taking cocaine.

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

Following the interview, some social media users have questioned the authenticity of Sabzwari's statements, claiming that the podcast may have been edited to misrepresent his comments.

Update: The podcast has been deleted from FHM's official YouTube account.
