According to him, another horse died after the earlier interview, making the total number of horses he has lost 49.

He stated:

“I have cultivated the habit of not addressing everything people say about me. I watched like two videos that people reposted, bashing me. Let me say it directly: I have lost 49 horses and not 48. Because after that 48, another one died. This year we have lost two horses, and this is the lowest.”

His clarification comes days after an earlier video where he spoke about the huge financial burden of raising horses and the emotional pain that comes with losing them.

Following his initial revelation, many social media users doubted Chatta's story.

Some questioned whether the actor truly owned such a large number of horses, while others wondered how he could afford the enormous cost of feeding, housing and caring for them.

Over the years, Ibrahim Chatta has regularly shared videos and photos from his stable, often describing the animals as part of his family.
