LAHORE (Staff Report) – While Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is still investigating into the matter of Sharjeel Khan's alleged blackmailing by unidentified extortionists, stage actress Honey Shehzadi has denied reports of her friendship with the cricketer.
Last week, in a video message posted on Twitter, Sharjeel Khan had said: "I have been receiving threatening calls for the last few days. These guys are demanding money and have threatened to upload fake videos of me on social media."
"I thought I should bring this into your knowledge that all such videos are fake. There is no such thing. They are just trying to malign my name," he further added.
Reportedly, the extortionists had demanded two hundred thousand rupees from the cricketer, threatening that they will, otherwise, release his controversial video with actress Honey Shehzadi.
