The son of renowned Punjabi film villain Shafqat Cheema has denied circulating news about his father going into a coma.

Pakistani actor Sheheryar Cheema has clarified that veteran actor Shafqat Cheema is not in a coma.

The confusion arose after claims that the well-known villain from Punjabi cinema had suffered a stroke and fallen unconscious.

Sheheryar confirmed that his father only experienced pneumonia. “Alhamdulillah, he is feeling well and is home now,” he stated in an interview with local magazine.

A video featuring Sheheryar denounced the “fake news” surrounding his father's condition. Shafqat was briefly hospitalised at Lahore’s Shalimar Hospital but has since been discharged.
