Designer Maria B finally issued an apology on Friday, after being slammed by the Abbasi family for filming a video of her new collection in a graveyard of Bahawalpur.

The couturier came under fire when a member of the Abbasi family, Chang Khan was calling out her for shooting in their private graveyard without any permission.

Khan shared the screenshot taken from the video of the shoot and claimed that the model was dancing on his grandfather's grave.

Later, taking to her Instagram, Maria B shared an apology note and deleted the video of the shoot.

She wrote: "The recent shoot for our brand was planned and executed by a production house with the concept of showing our magnificent cultural heritage in Bahawalpur."

"The shoot was edited and published without any prior knowledge about the significance and sanctity of the site. We are grateful to the people who have pointed out this mistake and we have taken immediate action by removing all the relevant content," the designer added.

"Our heartfelt apologies to all those who were understandably distressed by this unfortunate incident," said Maria B.
