Renowned model and host Mathira has alleged that YouTuber Nadir Ali harassed her and tried to embarrass her with inappropriate and vulgar questions during a podcast appearance in November 2021.

The model said that she has participated in podcasts with Tabish Hashmi and Moro, among other personalities, and never faced any problems. However, she felt insecure due to Ali's behavior, which she believes was intended to humiliate her.

"If you watch my podcasts, with Tabish [Hashmi] it was entertaining and we were having fun... I have never seen anyone who has asked weird questions to me, except for Nadir," Mathira said in a recent interview with Fahad Ansari. 

"I really had good respect for him, but I was shocked by his behavior. I think it's not just with me, he is against women, because every woman who was invited on his show, he tried to corner her. So it's a sad thing," she added.

She urged that when anyone invites someone to a podcast or program, the guest should be respected.

"I think that there is a very thin line between being funny and being vulgar... If you ask vulgar and uncomfortable questions, that's not even funny. So that's it's not good," she concluded.

It's pertinent to mention here that the podcast was aired on Nadir Ali's YouTube channel in 2021 and was viewed by over 3 million people.

Earlier in 2023, Nadir faced media backlash after she asked Pakistani Christian actress Sunita Marshall why she had not converted to Islam yet when her in-laws and husband were Muslims.

Later, he apologised to the model saying he had merely asked the questions "out of curiosity".
