Twitterati comes out in Meesha Shafi’s support following TV interview

While Ali Zafar broke down into tears in his TV interview, Meesha shed light at some important facts about her case in the show

Lahore (Pakistan Point News – 30th April, 2019) Singer and model Meesha Shafi appeared on Geo TV’s Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada k Sath last night to respond to Ali Zafar’s claims of false harassment allegations levelled against him.

While Ali Zafar broke down into tears in his tv interview, Meesha shed light at some important facts about her case in the show besides answering all the pertinent questions people had in mind about the whole sexual harassment controversy.

With the poise and dignity that Meesha maintained throughout the interview, Twitterati has come out in her support.

They are terming her as an iron lady while appreciating anchor person Shahzeb Khanzada for conducting the interview in a professional manner.

Here’s what they are saying:

Speaking on the show about Ali Zafar’s call for her to face the court instead of using social media as her defence, Meesha said she has not been avoiding the hearings; she has not been summoned by the court yet.

"I will appear before the court whenever it summons me," she said.

The singer also claimed to have a number of witnesses who are willing to go on record against Ali Zafar, which will be taken as evidence under harassment laws.

About why it took months for her to go public with the allegations, Meesha said, “She had blocked it out after it happened.”

She said that she was not thinking about the incident but she had promised herself to never be in such a vulnerable situation again.

"I had made a promise to myself that, after what I had experienced firsthand that I would not put myself in such a situation where I would feel vulnerable like this," she said.

The singer also said that she had a two-hour long meeting with Ali Zafar's representatives last year before she went public with sexual harassment allegations against him.

She said that she initially wanted to resolve the issue personally and not make it public, adding that she had communicated this to Ali Zafar through representatives but he insisted her to come to his place to talk about it.

Meesha said that she had responded to Ali Zafar’s offer to apologise as well but he only requested her to meet him at his place, without telling how the issue would be resolved.

Meesha further said that she only performed in a concert with Ali Zafar’s under the pressure of organisers as it was part of the agreement as per the professional contract.
