Pakistani actress Momina Iqbal, known for popular dramas like Khuda Aur Mohabbat 3, Ehd-e-Wafa, and Do Kinaray, recently made headlines for a serious personal matter. She publicly accused PML-N MPA Saqib Chadhar of online harassment, threats, and trying to ruin her upcoming wedding. Momina shared her story on social media and filed a complaint with the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA).
Momina is set to marry Muhammad Hamza Habibi in an arranged marriage on June 1, 2026. Her sister, Ramsha Iqbal, a lawyer, is handling the case and has provided evidence to the authorities. Ramsha told the media that they received government security for Momina and her in-laws after threats. She stressed that they do not want to drag the matter too much in the media, but will fight for justice.
Momina Iqbal’s Side of the Story
Momina claims Saqib Chadhar has been harassing her for a long time. She says he threatened her and tried to sabotage her wedding by contacting vendors and sending threats. An old interview of Momina has gone viral, where she talks about a past relationship that broke her heart. She said she loved only one man, who turned out to be a “red flag,” and she has moved on from love.
Saqib Chadhar’s Side of the Story
Saqib Chadhar and his lawyer present a different picture. They claim Momina and Saqib had a long personal relationship. According to his side, Momina received expensive gifts, financial help, and other support from him over the years. His legal team says this is not a simple harassment case but a personal matter, and they will present evidence in court. Some reports mention claims about Momina’s past marriage, which was not disclosed. He said that Momina is playing “Women card” and her fiancé made a threatening call.
Reactions from Important Figures
Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari said Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is closely watching the case and that the investigation would be transparent and strictly in accordance with the law. She noted that there are “two sides of a coin” and advised keeping personal issues private. She avoided strong comments against Momina but called it the MPA’s personal matter.
The NCCIA has summoned both parties, including Saqib Chadhar and his wife, Sameera Khan, for questioning. The case is under active investigation.
Actresses Iffat Omar, Sehar Khan, Hira Sommro, and Mansoor Khan also shared their views and supported Momina for standing up for herself.
This story has sparked wide discussion on social media about power, relationships, and women’s safety in Pakistan. Both sides await the outcome from the authorities. The case highlights how personal matters can quickly become public when celebrities and politicians are involved.
