LAHORE: Pakistani singer Meesha Shafi has finally shared her response following the court’s verdict in the defamation case.

After the decision, Meesha Shafi took to Instagram, posting a series of stories featuring poetry focused on women’s strength and independence. In her message, she said she views this phase as a personal trauma and will now focus on healing and moving forward.

She stated that she has gone through her experiences and is now on a journey toward recovery. According to her, speaking the truth remains her true success, and she will continue to rebuild her strength through her work.

The controversy dates back nearly eight years, when Meesha Shafi accused Ali Zafar of harassment, sparking widespread attention in the context of the #MeToo movement and leading to a prolonged legal battle between the two artists.

It is worth noting that the court ultimately ruled in favor of Ali Zafar, directing Meesha Shafi to pay Rs5 million in damages.

LAHORE: Renowned singer Ali Zafar has shared his first Instagram post after winning a defamation case against Meesha Shafi, expressing gratitude and humility following the court’s decision.

In his post, Ali Zafar thanked Almighty Allah and all those who stood by him during what he described as one of the most difficult periods of his life. “Justice has finally been served,” he wrote, adding that he does not feel a sense of victory but rather humility and thankfulness, with no ill feelings toward anyone.

He further stated that this chapter of his life is now closed and expressed hope that everyone can move forward with dignity and peace.

Earlier this week, a court in Lahore ruled in favor of Ali Zafar, ordering Meesha Shafi to pay Rs5 million in damages. The decision came after Shafi failed to appear in court proceedings and did not provide substantial evidence to support her allegations, while Zafar presented his witnesses before the court.

The case dates back to 2018, when Meesha Shafi accused Ali Zafar of harassment, making it one of Pakistan’s most high-profile cases linked to the global #MeToo movement.
