Hassan Fareed Khan has once again spoken about the long-running dispute between Alizeh Shah and Minsa Malik, claiming that he personally witnessed how their on-set confrontation began.

Appearing on Ahmed Ali Butt’s Excuse Me podcast, the actor revisited the incident and alleged that Minsa slapped Alizeh during a scene that was supposed to end with the two actresses hugging.

Fareed said there had already been some tension between the two actresses over changes to the script, but he claimed there was no major confrontation before the scene itself. According to his account, Minsa was supposed to hug Alizeh after the cue but instead allegedly slapped her.

The actor said he initially thought the moment might have been improvised. He later realized that the situation had turned into a genuine confrontation as the disagreement escalated.

Fareed also spoke about the script dispute that he believes was connected to the tension. He said Alizeh had objected to changes in the ending and wanted to perform the version she had originally agreed to. According to Fareed, he believed Minsa was unhappy with that decision.

He further addressed allegations that had been made against Alizeh following the incident. Fareed said he was present on set and claimed that he did not witness the behavior described in some of those allegations, including claims involving drugs and cigarettes.

The actor explained that what he personally saw was one of the main reasons he decided to speak publicly in Alizeh’s support. He stressed that he was not doing so because they were close friends, saying he simply wanted to share what he believed he had witnessed.

Fareed also recalled discussing his decision with his mother before posting his statement. He said she encouraged him to speak honestly even if doing so created problems for him professionally.

He said he has no regret about taking that position and would rather stand by what he believes is the truth. Fareed added that he does not consider himself a close friend of Alizeh but still felt it was important to defend her against what he believed was unfair treatment.

The controversy dates back to 2023, when Minsa Malik filed a police complaint against Alizeh Shah over an alleged on-set altercation. Minsa accused Alizeh of physical assault and other misconduct, while Alizeh denied the accusations and gave a different version of the incident.

Hassan Fareed Khan has worked in the Pakistani entertainment industry for years and has appeared in projects including Yeh Dil Mera, Aik Pal Ki Jannat and Mohabbat Ki Aakhri Kahani. His recent performance in Muamma has also brought him wider recognition.
