The Ali Zafar and Meesha Shafi controversy sure has cooked up a storm in the entertainment industry. From some taking sides to others sharing their own experiences, this dispute has had the whole nation divided.
Nabila, hairstylist, makeup artist and founder of Nabila Salon, is one such person who took to social media to share a message which many can relate to.
Her Facebook post started with, "WE STAND WITH THE TRUTH" after which she went on to share details about her relationship with both Ali and Meesha.
"I’ve known Ali Zafar since he was at college. In fact, it won’t be wrong if I claim being responsible for scouting him by doing his first ever shoot. I knew he was a star when I saw his eye contact with the camera lense.... the rest is history," she wrote.
Nabila explained that she has been a part of the Channo singer's personal and professional growth, and has seen him evolve into a "fine young man."

After that, the entrepreneur shared her history with Meesha, "I have also known Meesha Shafi professionally and seen her develop from being a model to a successful musician and a fine professional. She is a true millennial, juggling children, talent, career and home. Meesha is inspiring, cool, rebellious, firm, strong, and by no means meek or submissive."
Nabila then addressed the dispute between the two singers but refrained from taking any sides."Although I don’t like getting involved in any politics, but seeing the divide and undying obscenity surrounding the allegations I want to make a point here and request my colleagues to refrain from manipulating the #MeToo movement for their personal vendetta or instant fame."
She stated that the platform celebrities are given should be used "sacredly and responsibly" in order to create a positive impact, educate the next generation and build awareness for human rights.
Nabila continued, "Regardless of gender, age, cast, creed or status, its never acceptable to force yourself upon another person without their consent. It’s also not acceptable to ever be violated and stay silent with shame."
