Author: Ayesha Anis

In the wake of sexual harassment incidents and echoes from the #MeToo campaign voicing concerns from all around the world, Pakistani singer, Meesha Shafi has just taken to a post on Twitter and made a shocking revelation to accuse Pakistani sensation Ali Zafar of sexual harassment.


Meesha posted a long note revealing the details of her harassment that has now gone viral. Narrating her ordeal, the singer said, “I have been subjected, on more than one occasion, to sexual harassment of a physical nature at the hands of a colleague from my industry: Ali Zafar. These incidences didn’t happen when I was young, or just entering the industry. This happened to me despite the fact that I am an empowered, accomplished woman who is known for speaking her mind! This happened to me as a mother of two children.”

The 36-year-old mother of two shared her #MeToo story with an upsetting message: “If this can happen to someone like me, an established artist, then it can happen to any young woman hoping to break into the industry and that concerns me gravely.”

In response to this, the Twitter brigade has a lot to say about the recent disclosure by Meesha Shafi:












Ali Zafar started his career as a singer and a music composer and achieved initial success on Pakistani television. He made his Bollywood debut with “Tere Bin Laden” and was later seen in movies like “Mere Brother Ki Dulhan”, “London Paris New York”, “Kill Dil” and “Dear Zindagi”.
