Recently, Meesha has been sentenced to three years in jail for wrongful accusations of sexual harassment against Ali Zafar. The actor-singer had filed a defamation case against Meesha for false accusations of sexual harassment. As per a report, post Ali Zafar’s defamation case against Meesha, a Pakistani Court has awarded 3 years of jail term to Meesha for causing ‘irreparable damages to his career thanks to the false case.’
The ‘London, Paris, New York’ actor has also filed a defamation case against other people who had accused him. He denied all the cases of harassment, and penned, “I categorically deny all claims of harassment lodged against me by Ms Shafi. I intend to take this through the courts of law and to address this professionally and seriously rather than to lodge any allegations here, contesting personal vendettas on social media and in turn disrespecting the movement, my family, the industry and my fans. Ultimately I am a strong believer that the truth always prevails.”
