Back in 2019, Ali Zafar had appeared on Geo News show, Naya Pakistan, where he talked openly about Meesha’s allegation. The Mere Brother Ki Dulhan actor said, “All of us have been quietly suffering for so long. Not just me, but my family – my kids and my wife too. I haven’t said a single word in the last year as I had decided to take action legally through court’s procedures. But they have been making fake accounts and tagging everyone who tries to hire me in tweets against me in order to ruin my career.”

On the other hand, during the #MeeToo movement, Meesha Shari had issued a statement alleging s*xual harassment against Ali Zafar. She 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 did not happen when I was young, or just entering the industry. This happened to me even though I am an empowered, accomplished woman who is known for speaking her mind! This happened to me as a mother of two children.”
