LAHORE: Pakistani actress Sajal Aly has responded to social media posts tarnishing her character after an ex-military man apparently levelled vile allegations against her and other female actors.
Sajal has been under fire since a military official Maj (retired) Adil Raja – who runs a YouTube channel, Soldier Speaks, which has more than 290,000 subscribers – released a vlog.
In the vlog, he alleged that some actresses were used as ‘honey traps’ by Pakistan’s powerful establishment.
Although he did not name any actors but used their initials.
Sajal Aly response
Soon this video got viral; people perceived the signs to be of the actors who had worked in drams produced by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) – the military’s media wing. Sajal Aly was among them too.

She tweeted, “It is unfortunate that our country is becoming morally ugly and debased; character assassination is sin and the worst form of humanity.”
