#MeToo: Now, 2 more women accuse actor Ali Zafar of sexual harassment

After Pakistani singer-actor Meesha Shafi alleged that she was sexually exploited by actor Ali Zafar multiple times, she released a statement where she had written all the trouble she faced. And now other women are speaking up accusing the Dear Zindagi actor for harassment. Journalist Maham Javaid took to her Twitter account and said “So @itsmeeshashafi’s  brave sharing of her experience reminded me of a story about @AliZafarsays from many many years ago, when Ali Zafar tried to kiss my cousin and pull my cousin into a restroom with him. Luckily my cousin’s friends were there to push Ali Zafar off https://twitter.com/itsmeeshashafi/status/986918710991519744 …”

This was on a boat on the way to a party at the Yacht Club between 2004-2005. Why don’t I remember the date? Bc this is what’s crazy: in those days such sexual harassment was such a non issue and simultaneously such a taboo that we hardly spoke about it

We didn’t even think of telling anyone, apart from friends, or reporting him because “he’s a celebrity, no one would possibly care or listen”. And tbh over the years we forgot the story ourselves, until today. Thanks @itsmeeshashafi for reminding us that our stories matters

Make up artist Leena Ghani also shared her experienced on Twitter where she wrote how taking selfie with Ali his hand going up to her waist. And now Meesha’s story has assured her that it wasn’t her imagination.

Raees actress Mahira Khan also spoke in favour of the women , and wrote on Twitter “The sick mentality of those commenting on an issue as serious as sexual harassment as casually as they are just shows where the root of this problem exists – in our minds. We will continue to breed harassers for as long as we continue to desensitise this issue.”

Ali Zafar responded to Meesha Shafi’s allegations and refuted the accuse.
