Meera Mahesh Bhatt harassment denial
Islamabad/Mumbai, April 29, 2026 – Pakistani film icon Meera (Irtiza Rubab) has officially addressed and dismissed years of media speculation regarding her relationship with Bollywood filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. In a series of recent interviews, the actress sought to put to rest persistent rumors of harassment, categorically stating that the allegations—which included claims of controlling behavior and physical abuse—were entirely unfounded.
Speaking candidly about the controversy, Meera emphasized her deep respect for the director, referring to him as a father figure. “I respect him immensely. He is like a father to me,” she stated, adding that the rumors regarding sexual harassment had no basis in reality and that she would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with him on future projects.
During her time working in India, particularly around her 2005 Bollywood debut Nazar, Meera reportedly spent significant time with the Bhatt family. She fondly recalled these days, describing a close, familial bond. “When I used to be at their home, Alia Bhatt would often sleep with me,” she shared, highlighting the affection she held for the young actress. She also praised Alia’s childhood intelligence, noting how much she enjoyed watching the family grow during her professional tenure in India.
The actress’s decision to break her silence comes as she promotes her upcoming film, Psycho. By directly addressing the long-standing media narratives, Meera aims to shift the focus back to her professional work and personal achievements. Her statements align with previous denials made by Mahesh Bhatt and his wife, Soni Razdan, who had dismissed the allegations as “baseless” years ago, even threatening legal action at the time.
Industry analysts suggest that Meera’s clarification is a significant step in re-establishing her professional relationships within the entertainment landscape. As she continues to navigate her career, the actress has reaffirmed that she is currently content with her work in Pakistan, though she remains appreciative of the memories and connections she formed during her time in the Indian film industry.
