Nazish Jahangir Faces Backlash, Legal Trouble
Jahangir, a popular TV actress known for her performances in TV soap operas such as 'Thays' and 'Kahin Deep Jaley', has maintained her innocence in the fraud case and has denied all allegations against her. Her arrest warrant has sparked concern among her fans and colleagues, who are waiting to see how the case will unfold.
Pakistani actress Nazish Jahangir is facing intense criticism from fans of cricketer Babar Azam after she declined a hypothetical marriage proposal, stating that cricketers are like brothers to her, and is also dealing with a fraud case that has led to an arrest warrant being issued against her.
The controversy began when Jahangir responded to a hypothetical marriage proposal from Azam on Instagram, saying she would politely decline the offer, which did not sit well with Azam's fans. The situation escalated when an altered screenshot began circulating, falsely attributing a statement to Jahangir in which she was seen harshly criticizing those attacking her for rejecting the proposal. Jahangir has denied the statement and expressed frustration with the online harassment.
Despite the backlash, Jahangir remains firm in her stance, stating that she holds all national cricketers in high regard and considers them akin to brothers. She has also clarified that she has no intention of marrying anyone from the entertainment industry and would prefer to settle abroad after marriage. However, her personal life is not the only challenge she is facing, as she is also dealing with a fraud case that has led to an arrest warrant being issued against her.
The fraud case, filed by actor Aswad Haroon, accuses Jahangir of borrowing a vehicle and Rs. 2.5 million for a project but failing to return them despite six months passing. Haroon claimed that Jahangir's associate threatened him with weapons when he asked for the returns. Jahangir has refuted all claims, describing them as a calculated scheme to extort her and tarnish her public image. A Lahore court has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for Jahangir, directing the police to arrest her and produce her in court on March 22.
The situation has sparked a debate about online harassment and the importance of verifying information before sharing it on social media. Jahangir's case has also highlighted the challenges faced by women in the entertainment industry, who often find themselves at the center of controversy and scrutiny. As the case unfolds, it remains to be seen how Jahangir will navigate the legal and personal challenges ahead.
