Stage actress Urooj has alleged that she was sexually assaulted and threatened by Nasir Khan, who she claims is now blackmailing her.
A complaint has also been registered against Nasir Khan in Lahore.
According to Urooj, Nasir falsely promised her opportunities to work in several shows, which led her to visit his home. She alleged that during one of her visits, he drugged and sexually assaulted her.
She further alleged that Nasir has threatened to leak a video of her and is now blackmailing her.
In 2024, Nasir allegedly opened fire at Urooj’s house.
Stage actresses are particularly well-known in Lahore, mainly because the city has historically been one of Pakistan’s major centres for Punjabi stage theatre. Following these serious allegations, police action is now being taken in the case.
