Hello.

Yes, Sehar, are you okay?

How could I possibly be okay?

Look, Sehar.

We've stood up to Kamran's lies before,

and we will stand up to them again.

But how?

Sehar, there's something you have to do.

What's that?

Look, I know you don't want to bring the media into this,

but check social media right now.

Everyone's falling for Kamran's crocodile tears.

They're buying his whole act.

Yes, I've seen it.

I just don't get how people can fall for liars so easily.

Because that's just how the world works, Sehar.

What people see is what they buy,

even if it's a complete lie.

Remember I told you about Shahzeb, the news anchor?

I sent him all the case files,

and he wants you on the show.

Look,

I think it's the right time.

Manisha, I can't put on a performance like Kamran, can I?

Sehar.

You don't have to put on a performance.

You just have to tell the truth. That's it.

I'll think about it and let you know.

I'll be waiting.

Bye.

Thank you.

I believe everyone is right, Sehar.

I totally agree with them.

I think you should do the interview.

But Ali, I just don't have it in me.

I'm not like Kamran.

I can't just make up stories.

But who's asking you to make anything up?

Look, all Kamran has are his lies.

You have the truth, Sehar.

This interview is your chance to bring your truth to the media.

But what if I freeze up in front of the camera?

Have I ever seen you get nervous?

From our university days until now,

I've watched you face every person and every situation head-on.

Trust me, the anchor will be the one getting nervous.

Well, if you were the anchor,

I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Were I an anchor, I’d be nervous interviewing you.

Look, Sehar.

Manisha is right.

I really think this interview

could change people's minds about this whole case.

Mr. Malik, through your channel,

I wish to convey a message to Sehar.

Sehar, if you are watching this,

please understand that I am going to win this case,

and I have no desire to see you tarnish your name any further.

Even though you tried to destroy my home and my family,

there is not a trace of malice in my heart for you.

The doors of my office are still open for you, even today.

Come.

Start working again.

But just for once,

ask for forgiveness from the heart.

And not from me, from Him.

Greetings, Sir.

Greetings.

Make me a coffee, please.

So, you're interviewing Sehar today?

Yes, Mr. Kamran.

We are interviewing Sehar,

and I've sent you some questions regarding the case.

Yes,

I've seen your questionnaire.

Could you please provide your answers before 10:00 PM tonight?

Why? Are you with the police?

Am I obligated to answer every one of your inquiries?

No, we're certainly not the police.

But it's our journalistic and legal responsibility

to get your side of the story.

I won't be answering your questions,

and you won't be getting my side of the story either.

Then you can come on our program and give your answers.

I have no need to appear on your program.

If I wanted to, wouldn't I have just answered your questions?

But you've already given one interview, haven't you?

Hold on a minute.

Just because I gave an interview to someone,

does that obligate me to give you one, too?

And by the way,

I only grant interviews to neutral parties.

As you wish, Mr. Kamran.

But please, do watch our program tonight.

I have no interest in wasting my time,

especially not by watching your program.

I suggest you make some time to watch tonight's program.

You might find you'll have to answer our questions after all.

Oh, please, I...

So what if you made a mistake? It happens.

We're only human,

and humans make mistakes.

Shahzeb,

Kamran is not willing to answer any of our questions,

nor will he agree to come on our program.

The man is also incredibly rude.

Really?

Well, that's fine then.

Let's see what his attitude is after our program airs tonight.

Because Sehar has a very solid case.

I've also spoken with Jibran Nasir.

He also said

Inspector Shafiq's investigation was completely crooked.

Both our court and crime reporters are saying the same thing.

What I don't get is,

how did he give that interview with so much confidence?

You know perfectly well why he seemed so confident.

Malik was pulling strings for him.

And frankly,

Kamran just seemed so frustrated and desperate.

So tell me, what's the plan now?

The plan is to talk to SP Zohaib.

Let's get his take on it.

Also, do one thing, Uroosa.

Get in touch with Kamran's lawyer and his wife, Kiran.

Tell them we need their version of the story.

Okay. I'll give them a call.

-Alright. -Okay then.

The moment you move forward, not just me, but Kiran,

and every single employee in our company

will welcome you with open arms.

Just one time.

Admit your mistake and move on, Sehar.

Move on.

Greetings, SP Zohaib.

How are you?

Madam.

Your hunch was spot on.

Inspector Shafiq tampered with these reports.

The numbers for all three employees aren't registered under their names.

Then whose are they?

Two of the SIMs are registered to Kamran,

and one to his guard, Dilawar.

Okay.

Right, where are the CDRs?

I have them right here, madam.

Hmm.

Okay.

Here you go, madam.

Okay.

On the first SIM, most of the calls are to Kandiaro.

On the second, Rahim Yar Khan.

And on the third, most calls are from right here in Karachi.

This confirms it,

the SIM is registered to one person but is being used by someone else.

Yes, that's exactly right, madam.

I'll check the call logs from before the incident.

What was the date?

January fourth.

Oh my god.

According to this,

there were no calls to either Kandiyaro or Rahim Yar Khan.

In fact, the calls made in Karachi after the incident aren't in this history at all.

This means the SIM cards of all three employees were switched out.

Exactly.

And that means what Sehar is saying is absolutely true.

Those three weren't even there.

Madam, this one point could turn the whole case around.

Yes.

Come on, Abrar. Let's go.

Where to, madam?

Sehar's doing a live show.

This evidence will come in handy there.

Madam, wouldn't it be better if we presented this evidence in court before the judge?

There's another court outside the courtroom that Kamran has set up.

The court of public opinion. We need to strengthen Sehar's case there.

Now come on, let's go.

Ms. Sehar, would you like some coffee? Or green tea?

No, thank you.

We're going live in just a few moments.

Are you ready?

Yes. I'm ready.

I'm just a bit nervous since I've never given an interview like this.

I don't have any experience with it.

Experience isn't what counts in an interview like this, Sehar.

The consistency of your statement is what's important.

The difference between the truth and a lie is that

no matter how perfectly crafted it is,

a lie always has holes in it.

And Kamran's story is full of them.

So to expose his lies,

you just need to bring your truth to light.

I do have a few questions for you that are on our minds.

But rest assured, we've done our homework on your case.

I also spoke with SP Zohaib,

and he's on your side as well.

To be honest, Shahzeb,

after what happened with Inspector Shafiq,

I don't have much faith left in the police.

As for what SP Zohaib says now versus what he'll do later,

I'm not getting my hopes up.

If I had any hope,

I wouldn't be on your show responding to Kamran's allegations.

I'd be in court,

waiting for their investigation report.

I understand completely.

I can see why you don't trust the police.

However, there is one more thing, Sehar.

Typically, when we cover legal cases and proceedings,

we use the specific term for the crime committed.

Would it make you uncomfortable

if I use the word rape during our broadcast?

I've already heard that word over and over again in court,

on social media, and now, on the news.

Rape is a crime.

It's the crime that was committed against me.

Please, use that word.

Please, God, help my daughter.

Please, help my daughter.

It's going to be alright.

Come on, sit down.

Our daughter has a will of iron.

Honestly, Dad,

we never even imagined Sister Sehar would carry this fight so far on her own.

Women have incredible strength, Saad.

They just need to realize it themselves.

Come on, the interview is about to start.

Yes.

Where's Kiran?

Isn't she going to watch?

She's probably watching in her room.

Should I call her in?

No, it's alright.

-Alright, is everyone ready? -Yes, boss. Ready to go.

Camera standby.

We're going live in ten, okay?

Okay. On air.

Camera one, pan a little to the right.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One. Cue.

Greetings. I'm Shahzeb Khanzada.

Tonight, we're delving into a case

that has already captured public attention, first through social media

and then the news.

But you still don't know the whole story.

The primary accused in this case, Kamran Haider,

made grave allegations against the complainant, Sehar Moazzam,

in a recent interview.

Here with us tonight is Sehar Moazzam,

who alleges

that the owner of the company she worked for, Kamran Haider,

methodically orchestrated her rape.

He spun a web of lies, attempted to frame her instead,

had police reports forged, and misled the court.

He even went so far as to accuse his own best friend,

his business partner,

and his partner's wife, all to save his own skin.

Sehar is sticking to her story and fighting her case in court.

But the primary accused, Kamran Haider,

has also retaliated, issuing his own charge sheet against Sehar,

which he released publicly to the media.

He's denied all the accusations and completely flipped the script,

pointing the finger at Ms. Sehar instead.

This is why Ms. Sehar has joined us today,

to give her response and present her case to the public.

However, we must inform our viewers

that we reached out to Mr. Kamran with a questionnaire to get his statement,

but we've received no response.

We then attempted to contact his lawyer and his wife,

but neither has responded to our requests for comment.

Still, they are welcome to present their side of the story at any time.

This is a live program.

Let's begin our discussion with Ms. Sehar.

Thank you so much for taking the time to join us.

Ms. Sehar, you're already fighting your case in court,

and you've addressed the questions raised against you

on social media once before.

But now, the accused, Kamran Haider,

has escalated things with new questions

and allegations against you.

What is your response to that?

Ms. Sehar?

Sehar, go on.

Come on, Sehar.

Ms. Sehar?

Come on, Sehar. You can do this.

Come on.

Ms. Sehar?

She clearly has no answers.

Why did she even show up for an interview?

Keep your eyes on the road, Abrar.

Please, drive a little faster.

-Ma'am? -Yes?

You should sit down.

Ms. Sehar, I realize this must be incredibly difficult for you to discuss.

This is a very sensitive matter.

If you'd like, we can take a commercial break.

Ms. Sehar…

facing the media isn’t something everyone can handle.

I'm heading down.

Ms. Sehar?

Ms. Sehar, can you hear me?

Viewers, we're going to take a break.

After that, we will resume our conversation with Sehar Moazzam.

Are you alright, Ms. Sehar?

Could someone bring some water to the studio for Ms. Sehar?

Get her some water.

This looks tough.

I don't think she can handle this.

Please, relax, Ms. Sehar.

What happened to Sister Sehar? Why isn't she saying anything?

She's just shaken up.

But she'll fight back.

Saad, get Manisha on the line.

Alright.

-Excuse me. -Yes?

Can I please see Sehar?

Please, just relax.

She'll feel more comfortable in a moment.

Look, it's really important. Please.

Sorry.

Yes, Uncle?

Manisha, my dear. Could you put me through to Sehar?

I'll do my best to connect you, Uncle.

Please hold. Excuse me.

Yes?

Sehar's father wants to speak with her. Please.

Are you fine now, Ms. Sehar?

I'm fine.

Would you like to continue the interview?

I was at a loss for words.

But I want to do this interview, Shahzeb.

I won't give Kamran the satisfaction of knowing he succeeded in breaking me.

I just need a moment to summon the courage.

Yes, of course.

Please take all the time you need.

Ms. Sehar.

Your father is on the line. There you go.

Sehar, my child, you mustn't lose your courage.

Do you remember when you were little,

what you used to tell Saad before every exam?

You would repeat it over and over, saying,

“Saad, if you only think about failing, you will always be afraid.”

So focus on acing the exam instead.

Yes.

Sehar, my dear,

letting yourself fear failure only weakens your spirit.

It's the hope of succeeding that gives you strength.

Yes, Dad.

So don't think about what will happen if you fail, my child.

Think about what it will mean when you succeed.

This victory won't just be yours,

because this isn't just your fight.

Every woman, every mother, every father,

and every brother in this country is counting on you to win.

We are with you, my darling.

In fact, you should know that everyone is behind you.

Yes, Dad.

Thank you so much, Dad.

I love you, Dad.

I love you too, my darling.

Thank you.

This break is running a bit long.

I think it might take a bit more time, Shahbaz.

Sehar must be ready,

and right now, she doesn't seem to be.

We'll just have to wait.

Ms. Sehar, are you ready to continue the interview?

Yes. I'm ready.

Shahbaz, we're ready to go live.

Welcome back to the show, viewers.

We are joined by Ms. Sehar,

and we will now resume our conversation.

Ms. Sehar, before we proceed,

Mr. Kamran, as you're aware, gave an interview.

He states that the allegations against him are baseless,

but despite that, he has chosen to forgive you.

He wants to move on. What's your take on that?

Shahzeb, first of all,

what Kamran is calling allegations are not allegations. It's the truth.

The absolute truth.

The decision to forget everything

and move on isn't one for a criminal to make.

The court will decide.

Besides, I don't want an apology from him.

I want justice.

And until I get that justice, I will continue this fight.

Let Kamran give ten interviews instead of one.

He can repeat a lie a thousand times.

He's levelled accusations against me before.

I've faced every allegation made by him,

and I will continue to do so.

But Kamran Haider claims the case is leaning in his favor.

He says the police report supports him,

and your whole case has been blown wide open.

Look, the only thing Kamran has faith in is his money.

He thinks he can buy anyone and everyone.

First, he bribed the police and had them write a report in his favor.

Then he launched a paid propaganda campaign against me on social media.

After that, he set up his own media interviews with hand-picked questions.

If he were telling the truth and I were the liar,

I would've never made it this far.

My fight wouldn't have reached this point.

I would have lost at the very first hearing.

And I still believe that my truth will ultimately defeat his lies and his power.

Ma'am, is this woman telling the truth about Mr. Kamran?

She is telling the truth.

She is telling the absolute truth.

But Ms. Sehar, Kamran Haider claims

that if he were that kind of person,

someone else at his company would have also come forward with allegations.

Or when your case came to light,

any similar past incidents would have surfaced as well.

See, everyone has their own unique experience.

I have mine, and you have yours.

I can't speak for anyone else.

But knowing the kind of man Kamran is,

I find it hard to believe he has never done anything like this in the past.

Rohit is his best friend.

The testimony he gave against Kamran revealed the truth about his past.

That wasn't a lie, was it?

Let's assume for a moment

that what Kamran did to me,

he had never done to any other woman before.

Does that somehow prove that my accusation is a lie?

Should we just forgive him

because he hasn't committed this crime in the past?

Or because we don't have proof of a previous crime?

We can't live in denial. The truth is the truth.

And Rohit testifying in my favor is the biggest proof of all.

One thing he keeps repeating, not just in court,

but also in a TV interview,

is that he was framed as part of an elaborate plan,

and his friend Rohit and his wife, Manisha, were both in on it.

Shahzeb, in this case,

anyone who has tried to stand by the truth,

Kamran has turned against them.

He started accusing them.

When this incident happened to me,

I was all alone.

Today, everyone stands with me.

But Kamran is all alone.

And that's why he is trying to discredit even those closest to him to hide his crime.

But Ms. Sehar, according to his accusation,

Rohit hired you at the company.

He hired you as part of a premeditated plan,

and then, as part of that very plan,

he testified against Kamran in court.

Initially, Kamran’s lawyer presented this in court

as a plan devised by my family and me.

Because at that time, Kamran assumed Rohit would testify in his favor.

And I want everyone to know

that Rohit’s name was originally on Kamran’s list of witnesses.

But later, when Rohit refused to testify against me,

his name was removed from the list.

Then, when the court summoned him as a witness,

Kamran and his lawyer claimed it was a conspiracy hatched by me,

Rohit, and Manisha.

But these lies from Kamran and his lawyer won’t work anymore.

But that’s exactly Kamran Haider’s accusation.

That all of you were in on this from the start,

and it has only now come to light.

If that’s true,

then why isn’t his own wife, Kiran, standing by his side?

I can tell you for a fact

that if Kiran were to stand by the truth today,

Kamran would accuse her of being part of this plan, too.

Vile woman.
