“I have drunk alcohol with him multiple times"
Behroze Sabzwari sparked controversy after discussing his drinking habits on the FHM podcast.
During the interview, Behroze shared stories about his personal life, family and career.
He also discussed his relationships with notable figures like Imran Khan and Javed Sheikh.
When discussing his friendship with Javed Sheikh, Behroze revealed that they have been friends for nearly 50 years.
He revealed that they have enjoyed many good times together.
When asked about attending parties, Behroze confessed that he and Javed had organised numerous parties.
Behroze Sabzwari also shared a story about trying to tell Javed Sheikh about his crush on his sister, Safeena Sheikh. This was while they were drinking wine.
He stated: “To tell you the truth, we were drinking wine at that time. It was a really good quality wine. It was French wine, excuse me.”
“So I stopped my friends from discussing it because I did not want to talk about it while I was drinking. I closed the chapter right there.”
In a surprising revelation, Behroze Sabzwari said Imran Khan was not addicted to cocaine but did drink alcohol.
He said: “Those who accuse him of doing drugs like cocaine, they are lying. I have spent 24 years with him in Shaukat Khanum.
“I have drunk alcohol with him multiple times, but he has never drunk more than one glass.
“They are all liars who want to destroy his reputation.”
His comments raised concern among Imran Khan supporters.
“Imran Khan ke sath buhat daffa SHARAB pi hai, aik drink say ziada peetay hi nahi hain Khan Sahb” – Behroze Sabzwari. Khan ke supporters ki waja say aaj uska yeh haal hai! ? Still remember his leaked 9th May audio and then he lied, “someone edited it”! ?pic.twitter.com/qScKvQvj83

The interview has sparked a debate about the responsibility of public figures in shaping societal attitudes towards alcohol consumption.
Many social media users condemned Behroze Sabzwari’s promotion of alcohol, highlighting the potential negative impact on Pakistani society.
The podcast has since been deleted from FHM’s official YouTube account, but clips from the interview continue to circulate online.
Some claimed that it was deleted after the channel was pressured to do so.
The actor’s statements have been met with both shock and criticism.
A user questioned:
“Have you any shame? Is this something to be proud of?”
One user wrote: “The way he boasted of his expensive French wine shows how unapologetic he is.
“He must consume alcohol on a daily basis, I’m sure.”
Another added: “Exposing your sins is literally forbidden in religion.
“You are not only exposing your own sins proudly but you are also exposing the past sins of Imran Khan online. Shame on you.”
One commented: “Imran Khan has always confessed that he has made mistakes in his life when he was not religious.
“Why must you bring it up after he has already repented?”
