A huge controversy sparked off after names of top Pakistani actresses Mehwish Hayat, Mahira Khan, Kubra Khan, and Sajal Ali popped up in links to "honey trap" allegations. Netizens started guessing the names from the initials shared by retired officer Adil Raja in his vlog.
Although Raja didn't provide full names, he mentioned several initials – MH, MK, KK, and SA.
He claimed that several Pakistani actresses and models stayed at Pakistan' spy agency's ISI safe house and were "used" by General (retired) Bajwa and former ISI head Faiz Hameed to trap politicians. He also said that several videos were recorded as well.

Actress Mehwish Hayat, who was allegedly named in the honey-trap controversy, warned that she would not allow anyone to defame her. Hayat took to social media and said that just because she is an actress, that doesn't mean her name can be dragged through the mud.
"Shame on you for spreading baseless allegations and insinuations about someone you know nothing about, and even bigger shame on people who blindly believe his b******," she wrote, indicating Raja’s claims.
