**INTERVIEW WITH ALI ZAFAR: A DEFAMATION CASE AND THE ME TOO MOVEMENT**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Ali. You’ve recently spoken about the allegations made against you by Misha Shafi. Can you share your perspective on how these allegations have impacted your life and career?
**Ali Zafar:** Thank you for having me. To be honest, the impact has been significant. Misha Shafi’s allegations have affected my reputation deeply and caused financial losses estimated at around Rs 40 crore. The biggest blow was during the release of my film *Tefa in Trouble*, where a major brand withheld its payments pending the court’s decision. It’s been a challenging time.
**Interviewer:** You’ve mentioned that you support the Me Too movement, yet you believe Misha has misused it against you. Can you elaborate on that?
**Ali Zafar:** Absolutely. I wholeheartedly support the Me Too movement as it aims to end sexual harassment and violence. However, in my case, Misha Shafi’s allegations lack any substantive truth and seem to be a misuse of the very movement that is intended to protect victims. It’s disheartening to see such an important issue being exploited for personal grievances.
**Interviewer:** In your statement, you mentioned that Misha had threatened to damage your reputation. Can you provide more details?
**Ali Zafar:** During the previous hearings, I disclosed that Misha had contacted me suggesting that she would accuse me of sexual harassment. She also mentioned that if she did this, other women would join her in making similar claims. This was a clear indication of her intentions, which I believe undermines the seriousness of real allegations.
**Interviewer:** You also talked about the creation of fake social media accounts. What role do you think this played in your defamation?
**Ali Zafar:** Yes, I presented evidence in court regarding fake social media accounts purportedly created by Misha to campaign against me. These accounts were used to spread false information and further damage my reputation. It’s a troubling tactic that not only harms individuals but also undermines the genuine voices that the Me Too movement intends to represent.
**Interviewer:** Where do you see this case heading, and what is your hope for the outcome?
**Ali Zafar:** My hope is for a fair resolution that restores my reputation and contextualizes the misuse of serious accusations. I believe in the truth and the courts, and I’m optimistic that justice will prevail. It’s important that we protect the integrity of movements like Me Too while ensuring that false accusations do not go unchecked.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Ali. It certainly sounds like a difficult situation, and we wish you the best moving forward.
**Ali Zafar:** Thank you for having me. I appreciate the opportunity to share my side of the story.
And it feels like a coordinated attack on my character and career.
**Interviewer:** That sounds quite serious. You also brought up social media during your statement. Can you explain how it plays a role in your case?
**Ali Zafar:** Yes, social media has been a significant factor. I have presented evidence that Misha has allegedly created fake social media accounts to campaign against me. These accounts have been used to propagate false narratives and influence public perception. It’s damaging to my reputation, especially considering the way information can spread so quickly online.
**Interviewer:** You also addressed specific allegations, such as the claim of an incident at a concert. Can you clarify that?
**Ali Zafar:** Certainly. One of the allegations suggested that I had harassed a woman backstage at a concert in the U.S. However, according to a doctor from Shaukat Khanum Hospital, there was no backstage area at that event. It’s crucial to set the record straight on these baseless claims.
**Interviewer:** It sounds like you have a lot of evidence you’re presenting to support your case. How are you feeling as the hearings continue?
**Ali Zafar:** It’s a very stressful and emotional experience, but I am determined to clear my name. I believe in justice, and I hope that the truth will emerge from this legal process. I want to focus on my career and the positive impact of my work, rather than being dragged into unwanted controversies.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Ali, for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. We wish you all the best as your case continues.
**Ali Zafar:** Thank you for having me. I appreciate it.
