    Jawad Ahmed vs Abrar Ul Haq: The war of words goes on

    Music legends Abrar Ul Haq and Jawad Ahmed ruled the 90s with their catchy bhangra and pop tunes. However, the two have been at odds since many years now, often exchanging harsh words.

    In a recent appearance on Public News, Abrar Ul Haq addressed allegations made by Jawad Ahmed, providing his side of the story. “When Jawad Ahmed called me a religious hypocrite, I was taken aback. I believe only Allah can judge me. Even if Jawad thinks I’m a hypocrite, I’ve reflected on my actions and don’t agree with his assessment. I often mention Allah in my statements, which seems to bother Jawad. He says a sinner like me shouldn’t talk about Allah. But I think people are just jealous. I pray to Allah to protect me from their envy. It’s a well-known saying that jealous people are consumed by anger due to their own failures.”

    Abrar then said he used to feel bad forJawad, “since I used to win honors based on the public’s vote, the jury’s verdict, or my popularity.” He alleged that Jawad copied him when it came to charity. “First he said that those who gave to charity were the ones who had failed in their careers. He used to pretend to be a caller in order to disrupt my charitable efforts, but it never hurt me.”

    Is Abrar Ul Haq thinking of a second marriage? Singer clears the air

    Abrar ul Haq, our very own bhangra king, enjoys global recognition for his music.
    He keeps his family life private and doesn’t share it with his followers. Despite this, people have spotted him with his wife at various events, where they always appear loving towards eachother.

    In an interview, Abrar was asked about the possibility of a second marriage. “I never even thought about it. My wife wouldn’t actually do anything if I said something about it, but she has, time and again, threatened me with the loss of my life if I considered marrying again,” the Billo Day Ghar singer laughingly said.

    He went on to elaborate that his wife never actually says anything directly about it. “She just gives me hints and warnings from here and there. If I even talk about the idea of a second marriage, she ends up threatening me with serious consequences.”
