Actor Fahad Mustafa stated in a recent interview that "95% cases of sexual harassment are genuine but in some cases, people are falsely accused, so we have to tell every kind of story.”
The actor was shedding light on the plot of his latest show Dunk, which revolves around false accusations of sexual harassment.
The television series also stars Bilal Abbas Khan, Sana Javed and Naumaan Ejaz.
“We have always tried to show different kinds of stories,” said Fahad. “We also made a drama Meri Guriya which told the story of [the rape victim] Zainab.”
“As producer it is my responsibility to tell every kind of story and I believe people will enjoy watching this drama,” added Fahad.
He went on to say that his new drama depicts reality very closely and that Dunk “is a tribute to every victim who has been falsely accused of sexual harassment”.
When asked about his stance on Meesha Shafi’s harassment case against Ali Zafar, he said: “I do not know much details about the case, but all I know is that Ali has suffered a lot at professional front, it Is a huge lose for Ali and his family.”
Mustafa added that,“I think, brands should set an example by working with the people who have been falsely accused of sexual harassment.”
