According to her legal team:
It is unfortunate that Ali Zafar is misleading everyone by his incorrect and false statements
It also added:
Ali Zafar’s statement that Meesha made sexual harassment allegations against him in order to get international fame and so as to get Canadian immigration is false and defamatory
The public and Pakistan’s entertainment industry overall seems to have mixed opinions regarding the case.
On one hand, die-hard Ali Zafar fans are celebrating his court victory, while Meesha’s fans are openly dismissing the decision.
