Behroze Sabzwari, a well-known actor, has become embroiled in a controversy after an audio leak allegedly containing his anti-army remarks went viral on social media.
Sabzwari, on the other hand, quickly responded to the allegations, denying ever disparaging the forces.
The leaked audio clip sparked a debate and raised concerns about the actor’s statements, which were widely shared on social media platforms. Many people were disappointed, despite his long career in the entertainment industry and previously positive public image.
The initial clip featured a voice presumed to be Sabzwari’s, stating, “Corps Commanders have put their foot down and [General] Asim Muneer is in Oman, he’s been stopped there. I think he’ll be court-martialed. Everything will be revealed in a few hours.”
The clip was shared by various individuals, including YouTuber Saad Kaiser, and has since spread across social media and messaging platforms.

To address the controversy and clarify the situation, Sabzwari released an official statement expressing deep regret for the misunderstanding caused by the leaked audio. He categorically denied making any derogatory remarks about the army and emphasized his respect and admiration for the armed forces.
In a new clip, Sabzwari stated, “Firstly, I pray for whoever has released this fake audio – with the help of artificial intelligence.” He nervously laughed and continued, “The army is our shining glory. The army has sacrificed lives for Pakistan, and we can sacrifice our lives for the army. Whoever is spreading all this, God knows. I – everything that has been heard is a lie. So, pray to God that Pakistan and its army remain safe. We’re with the army.”
