Pakistani supermodel Zara Abid was on board the ill-fated Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) aircraft that crashed near Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport on Friday.
The PIA flight was traveling from Lahore to Karachi. There were a total of 99 people on board. Only two passengers survived the incident.
Right after the news of the crash was reported many people on social media claimed that model Zara Abid had been on the flight.
According to PR mogul Frieha Altaf, Zara had recently gone to Lahore for her uncle’s funeral.
