Momina’s husband rebuts Saqib Chadhar 'Fake Account' claim with evidence
Pakistani actress Momina Iqbal's husband, Hamza Habib, publicly challenged the MPA's claim that the Instagram account shown in actress Aruba Mirza's screenshots was fake. Sharing what he described as timeline evidence, Hamza questioned Chadhar's explanation while sharply criticizing his remarks about women.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Hamza posted a screenshot of Saqib Chadhar's Instagram profile, highlighting that the account received its Meta Verified blue tick in June 2026. According to Hamza, the direct messages shared by actress Aruba Mirza date back to 2025, long before the account became verified.
Mocking Chadhar's defence, Hamza wrote:
"3000 de ke 2026 mein verified blue tick liya hai zehni mareez insan aur yeh messages 2025 mein kiye thay. And I'm wondered this type of man is a representative and spokesperson of his people as he's unaware of protecting dignity of women. This type of man should be a lesson for nation or to educate them to respect women."
Hamza argued that the verification timeline undermines Chadhar's claim that the messages originated from a fake profile. He suggested that obtaining a Meta Verified badge in 2026 does not erase activity allegedly carried out from the same account in 2025.
He further criticized the MPA, saying it was alarming that an elected public representative could allegedly display such disregard for women's dignity. Hamza added that public officials should serve as role models in promoting respect and protection for women rather than becoming the subject of such controversies.
The latest development comes after actress Aruba Mirza shared screenshots alleging that Saqib Chadhar repeatedly attempted to contact her through Instagram direct messages. In her post, she also expressed support for actresses Momina Iqbal and Syeda Tauba, describing the incident as reflective of the behavior of the country's "ruling class."
The controversy is closely linked to the ongoing legal dispute involving Momina Iqbal and Saqib Chadhar. Momina previously accused the Punjab lawmaker of cyber harassment, blackmail and online intimidation, leading to a case registered under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA). The matter remains under legal proceedings.
Responding to the growing criticism, Saqib Chadhar rejected the allegations and insisted that the screenshots circulating online originated from a fake Instagram account unrelated to him. He also claimed that Aruba Mirza was "not important" to him and remarked, "Even one's enemies should have class," while dismissing the accusations.
