Pakistan’s leading actor Sana Javed finally spoke about the ongoing ‘bullying’ and ‘hate speech’ scandal against her, serves model Manal Saleem and others with legal notices for defaming her.
For the past couple of days, a number of posts have been emerging on social media against Pakistan’s A-lister Sana Javed, calling out her ‘rude behavior’ and ‘entitled attitude’ by a number of her industry fellows.
The controversy began earlier this week when a Pakistani model Manal Saleem shared an unfortunate incident that took place with her, asking the clients to not make her ‘work with self-entitled celebrities’. Though the lady didn’t name the celeb in her story, she shared a number of screengrabs claiming it to be the ‘Ruswai’ actor.
