Over the years, celebrities have used social media to voice their opinions and clear rumors being spread about them. And now, Pakistani pop sensation Hadiqa Kiani took to twitter and strongly denied media reports that she was arrested at Heathrow Airport in London.
Metro-UK.com, a British news website, quoted local authorities saying that Hadiqa Kiani was arrested for trying to smuggle 2 kilograms of cocaine hidden in two bags of coffee inside two suitcases. The report was run by Daily Times without any confirmation or further investigation.
“Disgusted with media for such FAKE NEWS. I have been in Lahore, today is my nephew’s birthday. SHOCKED,” Hadiqa tweeted.
