Do not involve Sikander Rizvi: Ayesha Omar issues clarification regarding ‘abusive ex’

The star has had to clarify quite a bit after her latest interview

Ayesha Omar has issued multiple clarifications regarding her appearance on the FWhy Podcast. The actor had initially opened up about being in an abusive relationship. The Habs star also shared her opinion on the predominant display of abuse on television.

Taking to her Insta Stories, the Bulbulay star specified that she did not wish for her alleged ex, Sikander Rizvi to be involved in the conversation in any way whatsoever. Moreover, she clarified that the individual in question was a family friend’s son.

“Hi lovers and haters,” wrote Omar. “This is to clarify that the abusive individual I'm referring to in my podcast with Frieha Altaf is not Sikander Rizvi at all. It was a family friend's son, who is not connected to the media. Please do not involve Sikander or his family in this. Much appreciated. Much love. Ayesha Omar.”

The Tanhai star also clarified that when she spoke about the display of intimacy on-screen, she was referring to kisses on cheeks and not lips.

“For all those people flabbergasted at what I said, please watch the podcast. I was referring and pointing to kissing on the cheeks. Not the lips. And that has been happening in our films and web shows for years. So please guys, calm down and take a chill pill. I'm not that crazy. Just a little bit. Much love,” penned the star.

Initially, Omar had revealed that she was in an abusive relationship for eight years and was almost married to that person as well. "I don't want to talk about the relationship in detail because it took me so long to leave the person, as I always thought he would eventually change and become better or that I could fix him," shared the actor.

"Even after eight years of going back and forth, the relationship was full of physical abuse and so much verbal abuse, so I left," continued the actor. "He was so fond of swearing and even told me he cursed at me to show me affection. I mean, I use profanity too while sitting amongst friends, but not for publically demeaning someone."

Omar also disclosed that she is still in contact with this partner, who is allegedly not Sikander Rizvi. "I have a cordial relationship with him and consider him family as well. I hope he has resolved his issues, as I understand that every supposedly ‘crazy’ behaviour has mental and childhood trauma behind it. Unfortunately, some people just release that trauma in an abusive or physical manner, rather than dealing with it," she said.

Furthermore, the star also added in the podcast that it's very common to see abuse on television. "It's okay to slap a woman, even if the hand is touching her, but a kiss is forbidden to show?" Omar remarked.
