Veteran actress Meera faced a barrage of demeaning questions during a recent podcast, sparking widespread condemnation from fellow celebrities and fans alike, as she promoted her upcoming film Psycho.
The entertainment world is abuzz following a contentious interview featuring Pakistani film icon Meera on Irshad Bhatti’s podcast. While promoting her highly anticipated film, Psycho, set for release on Eid ul Adha, the actress found herself navigating a series of probing and personal questions that quickly went viral, drawing criticism from across the industry.
Meera, whose illustrious career spans decades, is celebrated for her versatility and captivating screen presence. She has graced both film and television, delivering memorable performances in projects like Baaji, where she also played a titular role. Her enduring appeal and dedication to her craft have solidified her status as a beloved figure in Pakistani cinema. Fans can follow her journey and updates on her official Instagram: Meera.
During the interview, Irshad Bhatti relentlessly delved into Meera’s past, bringing up sensitive topics such as alleged relationships with Saud and Humayun Saeed, her marital status compared to peers like Reema Khan and Sahiba Afzal, and controversies involving Captain Naveed, Ateeq, and a past incident in the USA. He even questioned her about funds for a hospital and repeatedly referred to her as “Psycho.” Despite the relentless questioning, Meera maintained her composure, attempting to redirect the conversation to her film, emphasizing its strong cast including Shaan Shahid and Javed Sheikh. The veteran actress eventually chose to walk out, refusing to engage further with the demeaning line of questioning. The incident prompted strong reactions from colleagues like Mishi Khan, who publicly admonished Bhatti for his unprofessional conduct, urging interviewers to focus on career and growth rather than past scandals. Other prominent figures including Zara Noor Abbas, Zhalay Sarhadi, Bilal Qureshi, Hira Khan, Madiha Rizvi, Irza Khan, and Musadik Malek also voiced their support for Meera, condemning the inappropriate interrogation.
