Ali Zafar was accused by Meesha Shafi for sexual harassment in 2018. She filed a case on Ali for harassing her on multiple occasions. In response, Ali filed a defamation case on Meesha.
One of the ladies was Sofi. She claimed in her Tweet that Ali misbehaved with a girl they had sent to the airport to liaison with him for a fundraiser back in the States. He kept on touching her back and tried to come closer to her.
“Last year, I tweeted when a young lady confided her harassment experience with Ali Zafar; I deleted it in a day when certain information was brought to my knowledge which contradicted her description of the incident to me.”

I am a victim of harassment & a MeToo supporter & inclined to blv a woman’s acvount but sometimes our faith in people is misplaced. I regret the pain my naïveté & lack of impartial judgement has caused Mr Zafar & I hope this can make amends!

@AliZafarsays I am sorry that a lie I was told & believed hastily( bcos liar ws very young) though deleted is still being used to bash you & cause you pain. I shud have clarified much sooner but I was afraid of the trolls & online stalking & abuse. I hope this can atone for it.

I see that the troll army of fake accounts have descended in full force, my original tweet was from April 2018, I deactivated this account last year but the retraction ethically shud be from the same acct such tweeted it.

She continued and said, “Also I am not tweeting under any coercion or legal threats, ppl can do their homework & check against whom the FIA cases are. I am tweeting and( I should have done much earlier) because my original tweet is still being used so a retraction was morally the right thing to do.”

Ali Zafar took to Twitter and said, “Dear Sofi. It requires the courage to accept your mistake and bravery to apologise publically. You are courageous and brave and that is how you should always be remembered. I wish you nothing but the best of health and happiness in life. God bless.”

The story does not end here and Meesha jumped in to share her point of view.
“Fake news! It’s so obvious I’m surprised you can’t put two and two together, she responded.”
Let us know what you think about this.
