On April 25 2018, Ali Zafar’s legal counsel sent singer Meesha Shafi a Rs100 crore defamation notice for the sexual harassment allegations she made against him on social media.
But on 12th May Meesha’s lawyers rejected the legal notice sent by Ali Zafar.
Zafar’s lawyer Khwaja Tariq Rahim said, “Meesha Shafi’s allegations against Ali Zafar were false and baseless.
