Family member says his comments were meant to defend his pregnant sister, not escalate tensions
The brother of Pakistani social media personality Eman Fatima has publicly addressed the controversy surrounding her marriage to fellow influencer Rajab Butt, saying his remarks were intended to protect his sister during a difficult time.
Aoun appeared on the Rehan Tariq Podcast to clarify his position amid growing online debate over allegations of marital conflict, infidelity claims and questions surrounding Eman’s pregnancy while Rajab was abroad.
“I did not target Rajab personally,” Aoun said, adding that his statements were made in response to criticism directed at his sister, particularly while she was expecting. He stressed that his priority was to defend Eman rather than inflame tensions.
Addressing reports of a visa rejection linked to Rajab, Aoun said he was unsure about the authenticity of those claims. He noted that the family initially accepted Rajab’s explanation, but lacked concrete details.
Reflecting on the public nature of the dispute, Aoun acknowledged that speaking out may have intensified the situation, though he said he does not regret standing by his sister.
The episode underscores the intense scrutiny faced by Pakistani influencers, where personal matters often unfold under widespread social media attention.
