Raza Murad Clarifies Viral Drinking Video With Kiran Kumar, Says Its From Film Shoot: 'Log Samaj Rahe Hum Ramadan Mein Sharab Pi Rahe'

Veteran actor Raza Murad broke his silence on his viral video, where he was allegedly seen drinking alcohol with his close friend, actor Kiran Kumar. However, on Tuesday, he clarified that the video was from a film's shooting that took place a few days ago in Chhatarpur, Delhi, and shared that in the scene, they were celebrating his reel birthday, not his real one, as his birthday falls in November.

The video was shared by Kiran in a joint post with Raza. Earlier today, Raza commented that without thinking or understanding, people are assuming he was openly drinking alcohol during the holy month of Ramadan.

He wrote in Hindi, "Please, please, please ye mat samajhye ki ye koi sharab ki ya birthday party chal rahi hai. Ye ek under-production film ki shooting ki clipping hai jo kuchh din pehle Chhatarpur, Delhi mein shoot hui thi, jahan film mein meri birthday manayi ja rahi hai. Ye film ka scene hai."

Check out the video:

"Aap log khamakha samajh rahe hain ki sharab ki party chal rahi hai. Mera birthday 23rd November ko aata hai aur ye March ka mahina hai. Bina soche samjhe aap log samajh rahe hain ki hum Ramzan mein khule aam sharab pi rahe hain, jo bilkul ghalat hai. Ye sirf film ki shooting ka scene hai aur kuchh bhi nahin," he added.

"Dost jitne purane, yaari utni hi solid! Sometimes when you’re working with friends, Reel aur Real ke beech ka antar hatt jaata hai," Kiran captioned the video.

Raza Murad’s career has spanned several decades. Since his debut in the early 1970s, he has starred in numerous films, including Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Prem Rog, Mohra, Zordaar, Jodhaa Akbar, Bajirao Mastani, and Padmaavat, among others.
