ISLAMABAD—PTV host Dr. Nauman Niaz has tendered an apology for his verbal spat with the former pacer and analyst Shoaib Akhtar during a live tv show, saying, "I apologize for my mistake not once but thousands of times. "
In an interview with Rauf Klasra on his YouTube channel, Dr. Niaz admitted that the public reaction against his behavior was justified. "Whatever the circumstances, I had no right to act all this on-air. It was my fault," he said.
"The repercussions of my on-air outburst are fair. To err is human; that should not have happened, and for that, I can apologize not only once but a million times. I know I hurt the sentiments of many people, and that includes Shoaib Akhtar, who has been a rollicking star even though it was his mistake or not," he said.
Niaz also announced that he was ready to apologize to Akhtar in front of the entire country as he considered it his obligation to do so. "I don't want to disrespect anyone. I'm ready to apologize in front of the whole nation for that inexcusable act as I consider it my duty and obligation," he stated.
According to Geo News, Akhtar said that he had forgiven Dr. Niaz for the sake of the country.
