Meesha Shafi 'all for peace' with Ali Zafar amid sexual harassment case

The most talked-about the controversy of showbiz industry has to be Meesha Shafi's sexual harassment allegations against Ali Zafar which stirred up a storm.

Leaving the netizens shocked, Meesha's statement is often said as a major milestone in Pakistan's own #MeToo movement. The situation got out of control and the issue got spiraled out of control as Ali had filed a defamation case against Meesha.

The latest development to this fiasco is a step towards settlement as Shafi has expressed her wish for peace with Zafar on Twitter.

"Many have tried to mediate. I am all for peace.”, the Aaya Laariye singer wrote.

“There certainly has been a lot of abuse. And it isn’t healthy at all. I’ve done nothing since speaking up though. Other than defending myself against the weaponization of the defamation laws.”, she further wrote.

A Twitter user requested Azam Jamil to mediate. While neither Ali Zafar nor his team responded to this proposal,  Shafi promptly responded and expressed that she would opt for peace.

Please use this hashtag #AliAndMeeshaPLSreconcile and request Ali and Meesha to forgive eachother.

For the sake of us - Because we love them both❤️
