Controversy

On April 19, 2018, fellow singer Meesha Shafi accused Zafar of sexual harassment, stating on Twitter, "Ali is someone I have known for many years and someone I have shared a stage with. I feel betrayed by his behavior and his attitude and I know that I am not alone."[70][71] A day later, several other women came forward with their allegations against Zafar.[72] Zafar denied the claims, and said that he would take the matter to court.[71]

He later filed a defamation case against the starlet. The court was requested to impose a fine of Rs 1 billion on her as compensation for the damages.[73] On all the subsequent hearings of the case, Meesha was asked to submit a response to the defamation allegations. However, she failed to appear in court or issue her statement for either of them.[74] On the most recent hearing of 25th September, the singer was given time till October 18 to submit her reply on the case. [75]

Meesha, on the other hand had also attempted to file a legal case against Ali on charges of sexual harassment with the federal ombudsman who dismissed her application under the Protection against Harassment of Women at Workplace Act 2010. [76][77] Later, she appealed this decision to the provincial Governor, who upheld the decision of the Ombudsman, and dismissed the appeal. [78][79]

As things stand regarding the accusations, Ali Zafar has filed various cases in the court of law, against the false allegations and Meesha Shafi is yet to formally reply to these. [80][81]
