Several women have accused singer turned actor Ali Zafar of harassment, after charges against him were leveled by singer Meesha Shafi. Recently, however, one of the women who had accused Zafar withdrew her comment and apologised to him.

Earlier, a woman called Sofi had taken to Twitter claiming that Zafar misbehaved with a girl who was sent to the airport to liaison with him for a fundraiser in the States. Zafar allegedly kept touched her inappropriately and moved too close to her.

Recently, in a Twitter post, Sofi apologised saying that she put out the false information on social media in a haste. She said that her decision to accuse the singer was based on false information she was provided with.

On interrogation, Sofi had earlier deleted the tweet and also her social media account. She recently reactivated it to apologise to Zafar, and posted a screenshot of her deleted comment.

Sofi further claimed that she is a survivor of harassment and apologised to Zafar for the inconvenience that her social media post caused for him. She encouraged everyone to testify before accusing anyone of such a wrongdoing.

I am a victim of harassment & a MeToo supporter & inclined to blv a woman’s acvount but sometimes our faith in people is misplaced. I regret the pain my naïveté & lack of impartial judgement has caused Mr Zafar & I hope this can make amends!

And for all the #MeToo supporters, we still need to support #MeToo & harassment victims but please don’t commit the mistake I made & do some reasearch of the account told to you. Sometimes there r agendas at play which we only realise much much later!

Respect her and her privacy. She is not a fake account and has explained why she used this account. She is in fact a real victim of harassment and was misguided. It is all verified. When someone apologises. Listen and give them the respect they deserve. https://t.co/t9As5Jykfc
