In a video clip shared by journalist Ambreen Fatima on Instagram, Feroze Khan was called out for arriving over two hours late to a press conference. Voicing her concerns directly to the star, Ambreen said, "We (the press) were repeatedly told to arrive by 3pm, to not be late. In fact, we were told to arrive ahead of time."

The journalist further pointed out that the mainstream media had left the venue after waiting for hours. "Who makes these people the stars that they become? The media does," she said, to which Feroze interjected by arguing that it's the fans who do so. As the dispute escalated, however, Feroze had more to say on the matter. "For the past few years, the media has been after me," he said, adding that the truest cause behind his success is Allah.

Adding a new angle to the argument, Feroze said, "Actually, we didn't have hot water. No, I'm not joking. Ask anyone. I'm being completely serious." Despite the Khumar actor's insistence that he wasn't joking, the crowd roared with laughter.

However, the journalist's stance remained firm, even as she took to Instagram to clarify her position. "He made us wait at the event for over two hours. The mainstream media got fed up and left. Those who had been waiting this long had the right to question this," she wrote, stressing that a simple "sorry" wouldn't suffice and that these concerns shouldn't be brushed under the rug.
