Veteran Pakistani film star Reema Khan has made a startling revelation about a dramatic incident that took place during the shooting of a film in the 1990s, disclosing that she once slapped a fellow actress in front of the entire crew after repeated provocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The revelation stunned the host and viewers, as the actress is known for her dignified and composed public persona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actress expressed deep regret over her impulsive reaction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I should have been patient. Sometimes you should leave revenge to God. I still feel remorse over this incident.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On Industry Rivalries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
