Meesha Shafi has also filed a case against Ali Zafar but no one is talking about it
The Meesha Shafi-Ali Zafar harassment case officially entered the Pakistani courts this week as a sessions court in Lahore asked Meesha to submit her reply by July 5 in a Rs1 billion defamation case that Ali Zafar has filed against her.
The court, while directing Shafi to file her response by July 5, also restrained her from "making any derogatory remarks" against Ali Zafar "in any manner on print or electronic or social media". In a statement, Ali Zafar's lawyer called Meesha's initial allegations a ploy for 'cheap publicity.'

Many have prematurely interpreted this court order as sign of Ali Zafar's victory as well as his innocence, but is that the whole story?
