Ali Zafar

"I intend to take this through the courts of law and to address this professionally and seriously rather than to lodge any allegations here," Ali said in a tweet.
Early in the day, Shafi took to social media to open up about being sexually harassed by Zafar on multiple occasions and that her “conscience does not allow me to be silent anymore."

It is not easy to speak out... but it is harder to stay silent. My conscience will not allow it anymore #MeToo."
