She referred to the younger actress affectionately as “beta” and expressed regret over the unintended pain caused. “Alizeh beta, I’m calling you beta because you’re the same age as my son,” she said. “If I hurt you in any way, I’m truly sorry.”
Kazim emphasized that the video Alizeh referred to was from four years ago. She said she had no idea it still affected her colleague and wished Alizeh had reached out privately. “If you had contacted me directly, I would’ve apologized instantly,” she added. “But since you addressed it publicly, I’m doing the same.”
