Atiqa Odho clarifies remarks about romantic scenes with Omair Rana

TV and film star Atiqa Odho has issued an explanation over her remarks about actor Omai Rana who was recently caught up in the Lahore Grammar School scandal involving allegations of sexual harassment.

Atiqa, in an Instagram post, said she wanted to clarify her position on what she said during a recent interview regarding romantic scenes with Omair Rana.

Here’s Atiqa’s full statement:

“I want to clarify my stand on what I said in a recent interview regarding my co star @omairana. I was talking about how it was awkward doing romantic scenes with him for the first time as we had never worked together before. Omair was very professional and an excellent artist to work with. He is my friend and I have great regard for him and his family so please stop trying to build controversy where it doesn’t exist. It is tragic to see how people are trying to tarnish his and his wife’s reputation without any proof of injustice done. My experience with them as a family is a wonderful one as they are polite, civilized, educated and decent people. Stop harassing them as they do have friends in this industry that will take action against such misconduct and misinformation as well. Atiqa Odho”
