Momina Iqbal and Saqib Chadhar controversy reignites over viral clip
Pakistani actress Momina Iqbal has once again found herself at the centre of online attention after a video featuring her alongside Punjab Assembly member Saqib Chadhar surfaced on social media, bringing their much discussed past back into the spotlight.
The viral clip, being circulated across social media platforms, reportedly shows Momina and Chadhar together at a mehndi stall, with both appearing to wear masks. In the footage, Chadhar can be seen writing the initials of his and Momina’s names on her hands before she appears to show them to the camera.
The emergence of the clip has triggered a fresh wave of reactions online, with social media users revisiting the controversy surrounding the former relationship between the actress and the lawmaker.
While some users have treated the resurfaced footage with humour, others have raised concerns over the circulation of what appears to be private or personal material.
One social media user jokingly speculated that the individuals involved might eventually dismiss the footage as an “AI-generated” deepfake.
Another user took a more serious stance, criticizing social media pages for publishing private videos and arguing that resurfacing intimate moments from someone’s past can have serious consequences for their present personal and married life simply to generate online engagement.
Others reacted with sarcasm to the continuous stream of developments surrounding the dispute, joking that another chapter of the controversy appears to emerge every few days.
The latest viral clip has also revived discussion around Momina’s recent podcast appearance with journalist Irshad Bhatti, during which she reportedly presented digital material and other records concerning her version of the dispute.
The actress has previously maintained that the material she presented supported her account of the relationship and the timeline of events, while Chadhar has disputed her allegations.
With the latest video now circulating widely, the controversy has once again become a major talking point online, prompting debate over privacy, the circulation of personal content and the continued public scrutiny surrounding the two.
