Actor and model Nadia Hussain appeared on The Current Life’s latest episode, on which the Jalan star brought her candid self to the forefront.
On being asked about a leading lady to whom she would recommend Lip fillers, she took the Hindi Medium diva, Saba Qamar’s name.
For the cosmetic treatment of skin tightening, the Benaam star was quick to take Meera’s name.

For her own biopic, she would like to rope in Angelina Jolie.
Reposting a video of actress Meera from the 20th Lux Style Awards, in an attempt to take a dig at her, a blog had written, “Uff yaar Meera ki English!” with laughter emoticons. Sharing the same on her Instagram story, Sun Yaara star Zarnish Khan commented, “Yaar bas kardo weli awaam (Can you people cut it out already?)”
She then asserted, “I’m pretty sure all the people who make such memes or cut-out video clips are a bunch of idiots themselves, who probably can’t even speak Urdu fluently, let alone English.”
The Ishq Zah-e-Naseeb diva reminded everyone that just because most of us can pass comments in the shadows, without ever having to worry about our reputation being dragged through the mud; does not mean we’ve earned the license to publicly shame people in the limelight.
“Just because you can hide behind the anonymity of a cyber-network, doesn’t give you a right to make fun of other people,” the Ye Dil Mera actor lashed out. “Maybe she [Meera] can’t speak well in English but is that a crime? How well do you know this language? Are you ready for an open challenge? I bet you aren’t!” She concluded by asking her followers to “stop being so shallow please!”
In the video, Meera was struggling to say, “I’m very excited to be here, obviously it’s a big night today. I want to congratulate Lux Style Awards for completing 20 years, it’s an achievement, me bohat khush hun aj (I’m really happy today).”
Actor Meera is the latest celebrity to join the video sharing app TikTok’s bandwagon. The Baaji diva has recently shared a slightly controversial video which she concluded by saying, ‘Itni izzat karien aurat ki ke aik din wo apko khud hi chairnay pe majboor hojaye’.

Many Pakistani actors went to India for their Bollywood debuts but couldn’t make a strong mark across the border and came back. Although some of these actors are huge stars in Pakistan and are still working on the best projects in their home country.
Take a look at some Bollywood debuts of local superstars which went unnoticed:
Meera has finally addressed rumours of being admitted to a mental health facility in the United States. Reports of the actor being admitted to a psychiatric facility in America were doing the rounds on social media as well as television.
Speaking to BBC Urdu, Meera shared that she was on a private trip to the US, during which she visited a hospital.
“I was vaccinated in a Brooklyn hospital, and went through some regular medical tests,” said Meera.
When asked to address rumours of being admitted to a psychiatric facility and being deported from America, Meera ignored the question saying: “It’s very late here, everyone is sleeping I can’t talk in detail.”
The actor later said that she was subjected to mental torture, adding that she had to go to the hospital “because I was suffering from depression. But they thought I’m mentally unstable and took away my phone from me.”
She further shared that she tried to explain the difference between mentally unstable and being depressed to them but they refused to understand and admitted her in the hospital.
“I was screaming the entire night, calling for help, and no one came. It was a really scary night for me,” remarked Meera.
Meera further shared that Sheikh Rasheed called the Pakistani Embassy in the US to help her, which made her release possible from the psychiatric facility.
She further clarified that she is not being deported from America but will in fact be returning to Pakistan to record a show.
Earlier, when reports of Meera being admitted to a mental facility were rife, her manager confirmed to The Current that the actor had only gone to get vaccinated and that reports of her being admitted to a facility were completely baseless.
Meera has received her dose of COVID-19 vaccine in New York.
Sharing a video of herself getting the vaccine shot, Meera wrote: “Alhamdulillah, I was able to get vaccinated for COVID-19 a few days ago, while in New York.”
The actor shared that she experienced “mild symptoms including fever, headache, fatigue and body aches” after the vaccine but would still “recommend everyone to get vaccinated to keep you and your loved ones safe”.
Urging her followers to get vaccinated, Meera said: “Please don’t be scared of the vaccine, it’s only to help everyone survive from this pandemic.”
In one of the videos, Meera said that she received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and urged her followers to take the vaccine “to keep fighting against COVID-19.”
Earlier this week, Meera was seen in a video with a man believed to be her father-in-law Raja Khalid Parvez. Parvez was driving the car while Meera thanked him for taking her to get a vaccine shot. Both of them were not wearing face masks.
Earlier, reports were rife that Meera has been admitted to a mental facility in the United States. At the time, Meera’s manager had confirmed to The Current that the actor had only gone to get vaccinated and that reports of her being admitted to a facility were completely baseless.
Meera has said that all scandals related to her marriage are baseless and far from reality.
“There are many scandals which have nothing to do with me,” said Meera, while talking about her various controversies on Ahsan Khan’s show Time out with Ahsan Khan. She added that one video scandal associated with her had nothing to do with reality and were mere rumours. The actor had come on the talk show with Javed Sheikh.
When asked if she succeeded in love or not, Meera said she does not know that if she succeeded but admitted that she has been in love.
Meanwhile, talking about when and why she decided to become an actor, Meera said she wanted to be an actor since her childhood even though she was very good at her studies. The actor added that there’s a lot left that she wants to do, adding that she will continue to work in films and television.
Meera also praised her co-guest Javed Sheikh for supporting her and being there for her.
“Javed Sheikh and her family supported me a lot,” said Meera. “All my initial movies were with Sheikh Sahab.”
At this point, Sheikh recalled the time when the two shot for Chief Saab, sharing that, as the director, he would tell Meera what to wear and what nail polish to apply.
Sheikh also narrated a funny incident from the shoot, saying: “She [Meera] was playing this rich girl who comes to meet her lover, who’s not as fortunate, in this basti. She was wearing a skirt and it looked like she’s going to a club which made me angry. When she asked what she should have been wearing instead, I told her a simple white shirt with jeans would do.”
“After 20-25 minutes, Meera came back wearing a white shirt with jeans, which she borrowed from a local resident living nearby the set,” he added.

Meera also revealed that her favorite song from her movies is Suno Suno Bolo Bolo, she also sang the song.
Frieha Altaf has landed up in the line of fire after a video of hers joking about Meera’s mental health went viral on social media. Reports of Meera being admitted to a mental facility in the United States were doing the rounds on social media and television for the past couple of days.
In the video, Frieha could be heard laughing and telling a group of people “Meera ko mental institution main daal diya gaya hai (Meera has been put into a mental institution).”
And none of these ‘educated, enlightened yogis’ stopped @FriehaAltaf from cracking this disgusting joke? Did they all REALLY find it funny to publicly make fun of someone’s mental health or is their life a high school where you bully to be part of the cool kids? pic.twitter.com/wFaUhTwvWu
The video did not go down well with the public, who called out the former model for her “insensitive” and “callous” remarks.
When will our celebrity/influencers understand that they hold great responsibility while posting things online. What makes Frieha altaf think that its funny to laugh on meera’s mental illness like that. Privileged and ignorant at the same time. pic.twitter.com/ixrR3fEkFH
Frieha Altaf is like every other person we come across who will tell everyone to ‘look out for friends’ and ‘be there for people’ when they hear about somebody with mental issues but will poke fun of the same thing in their circle and call it light humour.
How insensitive and pathetic you must be if you're making fun of someone's condition that too on such sensitive issue. The woman who calls herself PR Mogul, Frieha Altaf pic.twitter.com/0oPgyytPHa
Meanwhile, speaking exclusively toThe Current, Meera’s manager Hasan said that the actor is doing perfectly fine and is working on a few projects in the States. He said that Meera does know who started this terrible rumour and asserted there is no truth to it.
However, somereportsclaim that Meera has been discharged from the mental facility after Captain Naveed paid $50,000 for her ‘bail’.
