“I hope you live a sad life… and die a lonely and painful death,” Ayesha cursed.

The WhatsApp conversation further sees what looks like an apology from Ali using his wife Mandana’s number, after his’ was blocked by the accuser, where he termed the message as a ‘wake-up call’ and asked Ayesha to forgive, herself and others around.
Ali Noor asked her to start fresh as well, and find a way forward, however, was denied to by Ayesha.
“I forgive you, I don’t hate you anymore,” the journalist assured while asking to ‘leave her alone’.
Responding to the viral accusation, Ali shared his statement in an Instagram story, “This is no PR ploy to promote a new single”.
“I want to release my song in peace on the 22nd… I’ll address everyone’s concerns and questions on the 25th.”
In another story shared on Saturday morning, Ali apologized to the lady once again, “I cannot fathom your pain and only apologize once again.”
It is pertinent to mention, the lead vocalist of ‘Noori’ will be dropping his next single ‘Mein Ne Chor Diya’ on February 22.
