My comment wasn't in good taste: Noor apologises to Shaniera as two bury the hatchet

Shaniera Akram's stance on road safety has irked several stars and has become a cause of social media squabble. The latest celebrity to chime in on the gossip is former actor, Noor Bukhari. Bukhari apparently commented on Ashraf's post where he offered clarification to Akram.

"Please ignore her she has commitments on every celebrity," the former actor penned. "She commented on one of mine and Resham's post as well and we completely ignored her. I don't even know who she is."

Bukhari then lent support to the Ranjha Ranjha Kardi star and added, "You don't need to explain as every parent is aware of their child's safety and well being. More power to you. Stay blessed, we all pray for you and your family."

Akram then took to her Instagram story and addressed Bukhari's criticism. "Are you kidding me?" the activist wrote. "I never said anything to you, Noor other than disagreeing that Humayun Saeed was too old to play romantic heroes. Give me a break."

Akram continued, "I'm sorry if it offended you or anyone else, but it kills me to see people, especially ones with big followings, doing dangerous things with their kids and then posting on social media. It's just not okay with me." In the next story, Akram wrote, "And please get over yourself. You know exactly who I am and what I stand for."

Later, Bukhari apologise to Akram, agreeing with the latter about kids' safety issue. "You are absolutely right on the safety part of our kids," she shared on her Instagram story. "I apologise that I misunderstood you. I feel no shame to apologise as my comment was not in good taste. I'm sorry."

Surprised by Bukhari's apology, Akram thanked her and shared, "Wow, thank you! Really didn't expect that. At least this is cleared up and we can move forward."

On Monday, Ashraf posted a video to explain why he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt and had his son Roham sitting in his lap while in a car. “For those who know me, I've been posting something with Roham almost every day. I had just woken up, my son called me from my room, we got in the car and danced a little and parked the car inside,” he said in the clip.

“That video, which only had a heart on it, was linked to a controversy by our bhabhi (Shaniera) who is from the west. I respect you a lot, and I have never said I disagree with your comments. Please don’t wrongly accuse me of things.”
