“I am in Dubai to record my songs. Everything is fine. I request everyone not to pay heed to unfounded rumours. I’ll be back soon with you all in my beloved country. You will be entertained with super hit songs,” the world-renowned Pakistani singer said in the video with the Dubai skyline in the background.
“I request all my fans across the globe not to waste time and pay heed to fake news and rumours. The audience and fans are my power. I love all of them,” the singer added.
Earlier, many Pakistani and Indian channels ran a report claiming Khan had been arrested after he arrived in Dubai.
