    Eshal replied to him by saying that it is her social media account and he can unfollow her. She also stated that the dirt is in his mindset and not her post.

    Last year, in a rare and candid interview, Fayyaz opened up about being sexually assaulted by her abusive stepfather.

    Speaking to Nida Yasir on her Ramzan special show Shaan e Sahoor, Eshal said: “My biological father died when I was 3-4 years old after that my mother got married again.”

    “My stepfather tried to rape me multiple times and I decided enough is enough when he attempted for the fourth time. I shared it with my sister and together we told my mother. After that, she divorced him and never got married again.”

    The actress also clarified rumours of her alleged marriage with Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar (KRQ).

    When Nida asked her about these rumours, Eshal said that she had no idea who spread these rumours.

    “When the rumours of my and Khalil-ur-Rehman’s marriage spread, I was so afraid that I locked myself in the room and I was sitting alone, crying in my room,” said Eshal. “My mother explained to me that sitting in fear will not do anything. Go in front of people and explain, after which I faced the public and clarified all the rumours.”

    The actor further said that Qamar is like family to her and lashed out at social media for spreading false rumours. Fayyaz further remarked that life was very easy when social media didn’t exist but after its takeover people have become negative and harass others.

    Talking about her next project, Eshal said that she is working on her next film Mein Hoon Teri Gulnaz, which will also be produced by KRQ. Qamar and Eshal had earlier also worked together in Kaaf Kangana.

    Eshal had appeared on the show with Ismat Zaidi, Javeria Abbasi and Nazish Jahangir.

    ‘Pata nahi yeh saza thi yaan kya’: Nida Yasir breaks down on her show

    Host and actor Nida Yasir recently arranged a special episode of her morning show, Good Morning Pakistan in which all the celebrities who lost their loved ones showed up.

    The stars shared their painful phases of life and how they coped up with that permanent loss.

    She also shared about the death of her mother and the biggest regret she has in her life. Nida broke down into tears while sharing her plight during her mother’s demise.

    “The day after I reached the Maldives I got to know that my mother passed away. During Covid, I was not even able to come back at once because of the corona test and other safety measures. The next morning I found out about my mother’s death, I just spent the whole day praying to Allah to create an easy way for me so I can go back home and see my mother. This thing hurts me the most that I was not there with my mother during her last moments.”

    She added, “My sisters always make me understand that it is very difficult to forget those last moments as they are very painful. I don’t know if that was it a punishment Allah gave me or something else but it will always remain the biggest regret of my life.”

    Earlier this year the Chakkar producer made headlines for refusing a male fan’s request of selfie. The Nadaniyaan diva could be seen saying in the video that I don’t take pictures with men.

    Later, a clip from The Current’s exclusive interview with Nida is resurfacing on web in which she stated the reason of doing so.

    “The reason is that I have seen photographs of a lot of actresses on random pages with captions. They [other actresses] must’ve posed considering them their fans but the captions on Facebook etc say ‘Meet my friend, [XYZ],” she said.

    “I don’t judge anyone ever since, but I’ll get photographed with families, with female friends, but not with male fans,” Nida Yasir remarked.

    Recently we chatted again with Nida over her career, controversies and friendships.
