her discomfort.
She stated that she did not feel at ease with the situation and clarified that she did not typically engage in physical contact like hugging. 'I was very uncomfortable because I don't do this, I don't hug people,' she said. Additionally, Mathira mentioned that the video had been recorded without permission, as filming from the back was not allowed on her set.
In response, Chahat Fateh Ali Khan released a statement on his Instagram, rejecting the harassment claims. He said Mathira had been eager for him to appear on the show due to its lack of success.
Chahat Fateh Ali Khan explained that Mathira had asked him about his music career during the shoot and later approached him for photos after the show. He claimed that Mathira had put her arm around his waist during the photo session and that they both had laughed throughout the interaction.
Chahat Fateh Ali Khan further stated that Mathira's allegations were misleading, asserting that the video that Mathira referenced was not recorded by a member of his team but by one of her crew members. 'Your own worker, one of the cameramen, recorded the video, and I got it from them,' he stated.

Asim and Merub end engagement with grace
Singer Asim Azhar and actor Merub Ali have officially ended their engagement, the couple confirmed via Instagram on Thursday. In a heartfelt joint statement posted to his Instagram Stories, the Radd singer wrote: "We hope this message finds you well. We wanted to take a moment to share something personal, as we believe we owe that to those who have supported us — fans, friends, and well-wishers." "After a great deal of thought and reflection," he continued, "Merub and I have chosen to move forward on separate paths peacefully and mutually. While we shared meaningful moments and genuinely hoped for a future together, life sometimes takes its own course." Asim, who got engaged to the Sinfe Aahan actor in 2021, emphasised that the separation was amicable. "We have the utmost respect for each other and the families involved, and always will," he wrote, requesting fans and media for privacy during this period. The announcement concluded with a note of gratitude: "Thank you for your continued support." The pair had long kept their relationship largely private, occasionally sharing glimpses of their bond on social media. Even before they confirmed their relationship status in 2021, the duo had been fuelling the rumour mill for quite some time. Shortly before the engagement announcement, Asim took to X to clarify that he had never labelled Merub as his "sister", as was allegedly being claimed by some based on a doctored screenshot. He wrote, "To all reposting a screenshot of a 'news channel' that said I had labelled Merub as my sister [because] of a fake chat a fan had made, I clarified it a year ago." The singer continued, "Reminder, since this is a beautiful moment of my life that I want to cherish. Doosre ki khushi mai khush hona chahiye [You should be happy for others]." He went on to add in a separate post, "Clarification was important because the narrative was disgusting. Anyways, baaki sab ko mithaai jald hi ghar pohanch jayegi [the mithai will reach everyone else's homes soon]. I love you guys. Thank you for the love and duas." Merub also took to her Instagram story to request people to steer clear of spreading rumours for the sake of gossip. She wrote, "Please refrain from spreading false info, fake dates and especially refrain from bringing other humans down to celebrate us," in a possible nod to fans bullying actor Hania Aamir, whom Asim previously dated.

Trace Cyrus claims Brenda Song lied about being terminally ill and took his money
Singer Trace Cyrus has publicly accused his ex-girlfriend, actress Brenda Song, of a series of shocking allegations: lying about being terminally ill, stealing thousands of dollars from him, and faking multiple pregnancies. The claims surfaced on Cyrus's Instagram, where he posted, 'yes because she stole thousand of dollars from me and faked multiple pregnancies, & lied about being terminally'. His statement reconfirms rumors circulating online today and reignites past controversies. These are not new claims. Back in 2015, Song addressed similar rumors via Instagram. She clarified that pregnancy and miscarriage speculation 'were just lies and fabrications,' extending an apology for not addressing them sooner . At the time, Cyrus responded directly, stating that Song had personally spread the false information to friends and family . Biographical sources indicate the couple shared a long-term, on-again, off-again relationship before splitting roughly seven years ago . Tensions appeared to peak when pregnancy rumors emerged. Some sources claimed Song had considered abortion due to family pressure, though no confirmed evidence supports these claims . This latest Instagram post comes years after their breakup but amplifies old accusations. Social media users have shown mixed reactions: some accuse Cyrus of a misogynistic smear campaign, while others recall that Song once apologized for the rumors . At present, Song has not responded to the renewed allegations. As this story unfolds, fans will be watching for any official statements from Song, Cyrus, or their representatives—and whether new evidence supports or contradicts the resurfaced claims.
