With Pakistani singer, Meesha Shafi
accusing fellow-musician Ali Zafar of sexual
harassment, the Harvey Weinstein
syndrome that shook the American
entertainment industry last year, has
reached the Asian shores. It's only a matter
of time before the sexual predators and
pedophiles of Bollywood (yes, there are
those too) are exposed.
As far as singer Ali Zafar is concerned,
Bollywood, where he has worked in quite a
few films, has no reason to complain. One
of the top Bollywood leading ladies with
whom Ali has worked gives him a clean
chit. "He was always impeccably behaved.
There was never a whiff of any untoward
behaviour. He was punctual, professional,
polite, almost aloof. Never tried to act
familiar. But then, that's my experience. The
narrative might be completely different in
another continent.
The last Bollywood film that Ali Zafar
worked in was Gauri Shinde's Dear Zindagi.
Everyone associated with that film vouches
for Ali's professionalism and decency.
The narrative is indeed different for Ali
across the border. Meesha Shafi's
allegations have hit hard. I tried to contact
his colleagues from the entertainment
industry in Pakistan. There was mostly a
silence. Only one actor spoke on condition
of anonymity. "Main kya bolu? He's a well-
behaved cultured boy. And seems happily
married with two children. This
(allegations) will definitely affect his
popularity. Hopefully, it won't damage his
family life.
Unless more women come forward with
allegations against Ali Zafar. Has the
#MeToo movement started in Pakistan? If it
has, how long would it be before actresses
start naming and shaming the sexual
offenders of Bollywood?

If he has done nothing then I really hope that he is able to prove the allegations wrong legally.

Katrina or Alia? The next sentence denotes its the latter. And even if he's a total creep am sure he's not stupid enough to try anything with Indian women. Pakistani artists already have the worst rep in India just cause they Pakistanis so this is outta question. Am sure they are the most careful here.

One thing i can say to Men. Save all your interactions with Women. U never know when u may be accused of anything thanks to Social Media mob lynching. After Zaira Wasim case, men shud avoid sitting behind women in public places. After the media reporter wrongly accused a Man who was helping people during Mumbai stampede as "molestor", i think men shud just keep walking n not help women.

Recently, a Indian slam poet was publicly shamed on Facebook by a woman who accused him of Rape. Luckily, the guy had the Whatapp conversations before n after the One night stand. It turned out it was the woman who lured the guy and later, also claimed "she had a great time last night" the very next day. It was consensual and definitely not Rape.

After her lie got exposed, she retracted her statement saying she did not expect it to blow up and apologized to the guy. Apparently, she was jealous of his not being interested in her and going with other girls.

Imagine if that guy didn't have those messages with him? He wud be scarred for life. Point is Respect each other, Respect Consent but it is also important for Good guys to be on their toes. Bcoz u will be assumed Guilty since Day 1. A Man's words mean nothing in this world. He HAS to prove his innocence with Proof.

Shouldn't it be the other way around? How does one prove something they claim they are not guilty of? That's like me asking you prove that you haven't dated me. 😆

He can't try that in BW one because being Pakistani and second the actress in BW are another kind in terms of status he would not dare to, so peeps of Bollywood speaking for him makes no sense anyway like it doesnt prove anything

Another continent??
Pakistan is in the same continent as India. This leading lady's general knowledge is weak.
