On a 6 May 2025 Rasta News Network podcast episode with journalist Naeem Hanif, Lucman sparked outrage in both India and Pakistan following vulgar remarks in which he said that he would take Bollywood actresses as spoils of war, impliedly referring to sex slaves, if Pakistan were to win a war against India.
