According to a criminal record of gold-laden Kashmir Zameer available with ARY News, four cases were registered against him in Lahore, two each in Toba Tek Singh and Sialkot.

The Turkish actor had also expressed his displeasure over the false statements and misinformation given to the media by the company owner Kashif Zameer.

The actor had said that his visit to Pakistan had given him the opportunity to meet the loving people of Pakistan and explore the beautiful country (Pakistan). The Turkish actor announced that he will soon visit Pakistan again.
