In a recent interview, veteran actor Meera has called out singer Meesha Shafi for accusing Ali Zafar of sexual harassment. The Nazar star mentioned the former Overload vocalist hopes to become Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai with her 'tactics', reported Express News.
According to a statement, Meera praised fellow actor Ali, saying he is a very talented and accomplished artist. "Meesha is in the wrong in this case," she said. "Anyone can get two seconds of fame after wrongfully using the name of a successful individual and Meesha has done the same by dragging Ali in this issue."
The Baaji star continued, "Meesha's intentions are in front of everyone. She only wants to stay relevant and make headlines by alleging that Ali harassed her. Meesha hopes to get international attention like Malala."
She concluded, "Ali is innocent and I stand with him in these trying times."
Earlier, Ali made the same reference in a press conference. "I don’t know whether by doing this she wanted to become another Malala and get fame abroad. Malala is a true warrior who stands for truth and justice having made great sacrifices. Meesha cannot become her by lying and running away from justice hiding behind fake profiles on social media.”
