Renowned Pakistani transplant hepatologist and gastroenterologist, Dr. Affan Qaiser, has issued an apology to fashion designer Maria B for his remarks regarding LGBTQ issues.
Dr. Qaiser recently appeared on Farukh Warraich’s podcast, where he expressed regret for a video he had previously made against Maria B. Reflecting on the matter, he admitted, “I am truly ashamed of the video I made against Maria B. After speaking against her, I felt really bad. My friend and Islamic podcaster Ali informed me that things about Maria B are actually different. I personally like Maria B as well. I received a video against her from my research team, so I decided to make a video.”
