Veteran actress Saba Hameed breaks silence on the long-running legal dispute involving her daughter, singer Meesha Shafi, and musician Ali Zafar. The case, which began in April 2018, is nearing a possible conclusion.
The controversy started when Meesha Shafi accused Ali Zafar of harassment. Ali Zafar denied the allegations, calling them false and claiming they aimed to harm his reputation. Multiple legal proceedings, including a defamation suit filed by Ali Zafar, followed. The case has remained under trial for several years.
During recent court hearings, Saba Hameed appeared on behalf of her daughter, who is currently living in Canada. Speaking briefly to reporters, Hameed broke silence to express determination about the case’s outcome. She avoided discussing legal specifics but said, “We have been fighting this for eight years, and we are not accepting defeat in this matter. How can one speak with someone who has no respect for women?”
This marks the first significant public statement from Saba Hameed since the case began. Observers note that her comments signal a strong stance while maintaining discretion about ongoing court proceedings. The actress breaks silence to highlight her support for her daughter and the importance of justice.
Before the dispute, Meesha Shafi and Ali Zafar shared a friendly relationship. The two had been college friends and collaborated professionally, including on the song Chal Dil Mere. Their friendship was well-known in Pakistan’s entertainment circles.
Ali Zafar, accompanied by his wife Ayesha Fazli, left the court without speaking to the media. Legal experts suggest the case could conclude soon, bringing an end to one of the most high-profile disputes in Pakistan’s music industry.
Saba Hameed’s decision to break silence has drawn public attention and renewed discussions about harassment allegations in the entertainment sector. Her statement underscores the prolonged nature of the case and the determination of those involved to seek resolution.
