“Mornin’ Mr President. Godspeed and Goodluck. And ofcourse not to forget. Ahh well very respectfully, Asif Ali Zardari is the head of state again and we all love him,” she said in a post on X, formerly called Twitter, on Monday.

She also shared an old video clip from her interview with actor Shaan on his show Geo Shaan Se.

When Shaan asked her about Zardari in the rapid-fire round, she said: “Well very respectfully he is the head of the state. Our president and we all love him.”

She asked the host to not say more and to ask the next question.

Ayyan was arrested on March 14, 2015 for allegedly attempting to smuggle $506,800 in cash to the United Arab Emirates by the Airports Security Force personnel at the Benazir Bhutto International Airport in Islamabad.

She spent four months in Adiala jail. Her name was linked to high-profile politicians and it was alleged that she was a conduit for their money laundering operations.

In 2017, the Supreme Court allowed her to go abroad and directed the interior ministry to remove her name from the Exit Control List.

But two years later, the special court of customs, excise and taxation declared the model a proclaimed offender in a currency smuggling case.
