After the high-profile arrest of singer/model Ayyan Ali, it appears that money laundering allegations have caught on as an easy smearing tactic.
A fortnight after picking up the Jury Award at a private TV channel’s award show, Bunty I Love You actress Saba Qamar has become the subject of dubious headline that allege her involvement in money laundering activities. Not only has this rumour been circulating on the social media, but was lent some measure of misplaced credence by its announcement on national television by a well-known TV show host.
The rumours say that the FIA has began its investigation of her frequent trips abroad in the past two years – claims that Saba Qamar dismisses as baseless. “FIA officials haven’t so much as set foot in my house, let alone began investigations against me. I am nowadays occupied with the shoot of my next drama serial. I travelled for the first time in five years to receive my award in Dubai, so the rumours have no logic to them. This is just an effort to malign my reputation and hurt my relationships in the industry.”
