Bakhtyar's reaction to Navina's allegation

 

In a video that was uploaded to social media, Bakhtyar wrote in the comments, "Sorry but why did you go home for a meeting? Meetings normally happen at offices or public places. Women of 1980s or women of 2025 then and now both always knew the basics I am sorry but stop making easy targets now when did this happen? Why didn't you come out then? With all due respect to all women, it is high time we stop giving interviews after 30 days of the incident that much time is enough to get brains and courage."
