Pakistani actress and Irrfan’s Hindi Medium co-star Saba Qamar has called off her wedding with blogger and entrepreneur Azeem Khan due to personal reasons. Saba took to social media to announce breaking up her engagement in the wake of a woman accusing Azeem of sexual harassment days after he announced his engagement with the actress.
Taking to Instagram, Saba posted a note wherein she wrote that she has never met Azeem in person and was only in contact with him over the phone. She wrote, “Hi everyone! I have a very important announcement to make, due to a lot of personal reasons I have decided to call it off with Azeem Khan. WE ARE NOT GETTING MARRIED NOW. Hope you guys will support my decision just like you all have been supporting me always, and I guess it's never too late to realise the bitter realities. I also wanted to clear ONE IMPORTANT thing that is: I have never met Azeem Khan in my life we were only connected over the phone. It's a very hard time for me right now but as we all know 'this too shall pass' Insha Allah. Much love to you all (sic)."
Azeem responded to Saba’s post and took full responsibility for the break-up. He wrote, “Saba you have the most amazing soul and you deserve all the happiness in the universe. May God bless you with all the success and love. Difficult roads often led to beautiful destinations. And yes, I would like to take full responsibility of this breakdown."
Azeem was accused of sexual harassment a few days after he announced his engagement with Saba. He had posted a video message explaining his side of the story, on which Saba had written, “I trust you.” However, he soon deleted the video.
