Malik alleged Singh was also blackmailing her for money and cheap popularity. Singh was earlier responsible for handling digital media for Malik in India.
"He is a liar, his allegations are baseless. He was like a brother, he used to love me like his sister," she said, referring to Singh's claim that he was her boyfriend.
She said she had been busy after her marriage to Dubai-based businessman Asad Bashir Khan Khattak last month and could not change the password of her accounts on social networking sites.
