LAHORE – Pakistani singer Bilal Saeed has opened up about his recent viral video of fighting with his brother and sister-in-law outside his home in Lahore.
Bilal Saeed took to Facebook to clarify the situation after the video was taken by storm on social media with some slamming him for attacking a woman.
The singer also shared a video that shows damages inside his house. Alongside the video, he wrote: “I know how to respect a women and I know how to protect a women too! I raised my hand to protect my family.This is what they did to me while I was away from my house! And that’s not about it I have been victim of their blackmailing and unfair behaviour for a very long time! I stayed quite because obviously as an artist my priority is my career but these people have been taking advantage of my situation for a very long time!”
On his Twitter handle, he said: “Every human has the right to live with dignity and security, regardless of gender. I am a believer of peace, however I also believe in establishing boundaries when that peace is repeatedly compromised by another, regardless of gender”.

When the safety and dignity of a person is violated and jeopardized over and over again, he unfortunately is left with no option but to react, he concluded.

In the short clip, the heated argument seems to turn in a full-blown fight where apart from a verbal dispute the singer and the people around are getting violent.
Officials of Dolphin Force can also be seen trying to diffuse the situation. Despite being physically restrained by the police, there is no stop to the physical fight.
Bilal says the woman present at the scene was his brother’s friend while his brother claims that she was his wife.

The act of filming a music video at the mosque had hurt the religious sentiments of the public and the duo received backlash.
