Meesha Shafi calls out Sadaf Kanwal for controversial remarks on #Metoo

The model had appeared on 'Tonite with HSY' and expressed her thoughts on the very sensitive #MeToo campaign.

Lahore (Pakistan Point News – 20th September, 2018) Pakistani actress and model Sadaf Kanwal recent comments on sexual harassment and the #MeToo movement have landed her in hot waters.

The 25-year-old model and actor appeared on 'Tonite with HSY' hosted by acclaimed designer Hassan Shehryar Yasin. During the interview, she expressed her thoughts on the very sensitive #MeToo campaign.

“You know aap ke sath #MeToo jab ho, tab bol do. Baad mein aap ko yaad araha hai #MeToo, So I think jab ho bol do. (You know, when you have a #MeToo incident, say it then. Why are you remembering it later? I think when it happens you should say it.)” she said.

The 25-year-old model continued, “If I ever have a MeToo incident, I would say it. And I won't just say it on social media. I'd tell all of you,” probably hinting towards Meesha Shafi

This had sparked an outrage from the feminists who called her out for her remarks about an issue as sensitive as sexual harassment.

Singer Meesha Shafi, who recently accused co-singer Ali Zafar harassing her, also responded to Sadaf’s statement by referring to her as ‘strong eyebrows’.

In a tweet, she said, “Strong eyebrows.. do not a strong backbone make 🤷🏻‍♀️ Pfffft”
