Controversies
• In 2012, after Veena Malik’s nude photo on FHM cover page, Ali said, “I don’t think those who are talented need controversies to boost their career.” • After the Uri terror attack in September 2016, the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) urged its members not to work with Pakistani artists or technicians. During that period, the trailer of Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt starrer ‘Dear Zindagi’ was supposed to get released. But due to the protest against Pakistani actors, Ali was not the part of Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Dear Zindagi’ trailer. • On 19 April 2018, Meesha Shafi accused Ali Zafar of sexually harassing her multiple times. Moreover, she has shared her experience through an elaborative post on Twitter quoting that this will empower women to stand up for themselves. Later, to her claims, Ali denied all the allegations applied to him and replied in the same manner on Twitter by saying that he will take some legal action against this matter. • During ongoing Meesha-Zafar controversy, Ali Zafar said that Meesha wanted to become Malala (Malala Yousafzai) by targeting him. However, his remarks on Meesha ignited rage in public and people slammed him for his insensitive comments.
