Meesha said she has been subjected, on more than one occasion, to sexual harassment from Ali Zafar
Lahore (Pakistan Point News - 19th Apr, 2018) Pakistan’s renowned actress, model and singer Meesha Shafi accused fellow singer Ali Zafar of sexual harassment on microblogging website Twitter a while ago, sparking a new debate on social media.
In her tweet on Thursday, Meesha Shafi said, “I have been subjected, on more than one occasion, to sexual harassment of physical nature at the hands of a colleague from my industry: Ali Zafar.”
Meesha said that she is sharing this because she believes that by speaking out about her own experience of sexual harassment, she will break the culture of silence that permeates through our society. Using the #Metoo hashtag, Shafi added that it is not easy to speak out but it is harder to stay silent. “My conscience will not allow it anymore,” she added.
Twitterati took no time to respond to the allegations and many people are coming out with their own versions on the tweet. Some are supporting Meesha while others are waiting for Ali Zafar to give a response.
