When Abdul Razzaq gave Deedar a six month ultimatum to be his wife
Cricket veteran Abdul Razzaq spilled the beans on his ex-flame Deedar whom he dated almost two decades ago. The sports star confirmed that he was seeing Deedar and wanted to take his relationship with the beautician and dancer to the next stage but her career became a major hindrance.
He recently stated in an interview that, “We became friends in 1999, and I didn’t promise her that I’d marry her, I had told her that we will decide with time. We were friends, and as for marriage, I had asked her for six months to make a final decision.”
Talking to host Shoaib Jatt on the show ‘Bouncer’, he stated that he wanted her to leave stage performances and the career of a dancer if she wants to marry him.
“She used to say that I can’t leave my career activities like stage dramas etc, so I told her that it would be hard for me to marry her owing to my family background.”
The former cricketer is married to Ayesha Razzaq while Deedar has been married to Hamza Bhatti since 2012.

As per Geo News, the driver told Noor that he could not arrange such a large sum of money. Noor told him that it was important that he brings it and asked him to take it from a friend or arrange it from his acquaintances. However, Khalil said that he could only arrange Rs300,000.
“When I called Noor, she said she can’t come out and that I hand over the money to the cook,” her driver told Geo. He then handed the money over to the cook.
As per Express Tribune, a senior police officer said that there was no confirmation of the money being withdrawn from the victim’s account, from her home, or from any other relatives.
The driver also revealed to Geo News that when Noor called him for the first time, she told to inform her parents that she was going to Lahore.
When Khalil went inside the house to inform Noor’s parents, her mother was already talking about the same thing with her husband. Noor’s father was asking why she was going to Lahore when it was Eid the next day, the driver said.
He added that after hearing the conversation between Noor’s parents, he realised they already knew what Noor had asked him to tell them and so he left without saying anything.
According to the investigating sources, Noor was in touch with her mother. Noor also spoke to her mother over the phone the day she was murdered.
When Geo News contacted the police about the driver’s statement and asked about a possible kidnapping and ransom, they replied that the case is under investigation.
