Pakistani actress Nadia Afgan has publicly expressed her unwavering support for Meesha Shafi following the conclusion of the singer’s long running defamation case.
Taking to Instagram, Nadia shared a story reading, “Dearest Meesha Shafi I stand with your truth,” accompanied by a white heart, signaling her solidarity with Shafi’s allegations of sexual harassment despite the Rs5 million legal penalty.
The post featured a minimalist illustration depicting a mother hanging Shafi’s portrait in a gallery while a young daughter looks on, suggesting Shafi’s courage serves as an inspiring legacy for future generations.
By including the hashtag #MeToo, Nadia aligned her support with the global movement against harassment, framing the struggle as a moral triumph beyond the courtroom outcome.
This wave of solidarity comes after a sessions court ruled in favor of Ali Zafar in the high-profile defamation case, directing Meesha Shafi to pay Rs5 million in damages after concluding her allegations could not be legally proven.
The case, initiated in 2018 following Shafi’s public harassment claims, sparked nationwide discussions on accountability, reputational rights, and the challenges faced by women speaking out against powerful figures.
