KARACHI – The management team of legendary Sufi singer Abida Parveen has firmly denied viral social media rumours about her health, labelling the claims as “baseless” and “irresponsible.”
The clarification came through a detailed Instagram story posted on Parveen’s official account to reassure her fans and counter the wave of misinformation circulating online. “Hello, everybody! We have posted about it before, but it seems like it needs to be reiterated. Abida Ji is perfectly healthy and well, Alhamdulillah,” the statement read.
The denial followed a week of widespread speculation, with several unverified posts alleging that Parveen was battling a serious illness, including false claims about her being denied medical treatment.
