Pakistani actor Hamza Ali Abbasi has refuted claims that he recently gave an interview criticizing former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Taking to Instagram, Abbasi shared a clip from his actual interview and provided a link to the full video, urging the public to watch it before believing “misleading” social media posts. He accused certain pages of twisting his words to create controversy.
Abbasi explicitly stated that he never spoke against Khan or made any derogatory remarks about him. Instead, he called for viewers to rely on primary sources rather than edited snippets. The actor’s clarification comes after viral posts falsely alleged that he had turned against the PTI founder in a recent conversation.
During the interview with Mansoor Ali Khan, Abbasi did acknowledge past political misjudgments. He admitted being “wrong” about PTI’s 2014 protests and condemned the May 9, 2022, attacks on military sites. However, these remarks were part of a broader reflection—not a direct attack on Imran Khan.
The actor’s statement highlights growing concerns over misinformation on social media, where selective editing fuels polarizing narratives. As debates rage, Abbasi’s case underscores the need for responsible reporting and public scrutiny of viral content.
