    Is Meera lying about being stranded in New York?

    Earlier this week, a video of an emotional Meera appealing to Prime Minister Imran Khan to bring her back home went viral on social media. In the video, Meera had said that she was stranded in New York for the past two months and that she was running out of resources and funds to sustain herself. Meera urged the Government of Pakistan to facilitate her journey back home as soon as possible because New York was turning into a graveyard and she did not want to die in a foreign land.

    Soon after Meera’s video went viral, several media outlets reported that the actor is not telling the truth and that she is in fact at her husband and father-in-law’s house in New York. The media reports also suggested that her video was shot in a room at their house and not in a hotel room as she claimed.

    Furthermore, Meera in her first video had also said that she had travelled to the US with Humayun Saeed and that while he had managed to return home she was left behind. However, Humayun Saeed while speaking to GNN stated that he had gone to the US with Adnan Siddiqui and Hira Mani for Meray Paas Tum Ho shows. He said that Meera was not part of their contingent and that he had met her last six months ago. Humayun further shared that Meera had approached him for a film but because he was busy with the shoot of London Nahi Jaunga, he has to turn down her offer.

    Following the reports and speculations, Meera, in another video message denied the rumours and called out those spreading false information.

    “In my video, I had asked requested Prime Minister Imran Khan to bring me home. As a Pakistani, it is my right,” she said. “This is not the time to mock or ridicule people.”

    Slamming those twisting her story, Meera further said that the Pakistan embassy in New York knows of her whereabouts and that she is grateful to Council General Ayesha Ali [for her help].

    Meanwhile speaking on Bakhabar Savera among other media outlets, Meera further clarified that the videos of her enjoying BBQ parties were from a few days back and that for the past one week, she has been stuck in a hotel in New York.

    Meera also shared a series of erratic social media updates.

    Meera says she wants to die in her own country, appeals to PM Imran for help

    Meera, who is currently stranded in New York, has appealed to Prime Minister Imran Khan to help her get back to Pakistan.

    In a video message sent to Geo News, Meera said that she had gone to the United States to shoot for her upcoming film Long Distance. She shared that while the rest of her colleagues including Humayun Saeed had managed to get back home, she was stranded in New York.

    “It is 2:00 am in New York City and I am stuck in my room and addressing you (PM Imran). I had come to New York with several artists including Humayun Saeed for the shooting of a film and show. My colleagues have gone back to Pakistan but I am stuck in New York,” Meera said in the video adding that she had no savings and was running out of resources.

    Meera elaborated that New York has become one big graveyard and that recently her Chinese cameraman had also passed away. She said that she did not want to die in a foreign country. New York has reported more than 10,000 deaths from COVID-19.

    “Dear prime minister, you have always supported artists. All countries are bringing back their citizens to their homelands. I request you to please make arrangements for my repatriation to Pakistan as I wish to die in my country,” she urged.

    Speaking to this correspondent over the phone, Meera said that all actors have returned but only she and actor Saud, who is currently in Dallas, remain in the United States.

    She appealed to PM Khan and the Government of Pakistan to help her as soon as possible.

    Meanwhile, the cast and crew of Ishrat Made in China who were stranded in Thailand for almost two weeks recently returned on a special flight arranged by the government.

    Thousand of Pakistanis are stuck in different countries across the world after flights were cancelled due to the growing number of COVID-19 cases. Special Assistant to the PM for Overseas Pakistanis Sayed Zulfiqar Bukhari said that more than 6500 Pakistanis will be repatriated on special flights between April 20 and 28. However, there is no flight scheduled for the United States.

    Meera Jee shares the ‘one lesson corona has taught’ her

    Life under lockdown has forced us all to take a step back from hustling bustling lives and reflect upon the little things that often go unnoticed. Meera Jee, who is currently self-isolating in New York, recently shared a video of herself jumping on a trampoline with a little girl Aliya and the one lesson the coronavirus induced lockdown has taught her.

    Sharing the video, Meera wrote, “Who says we can’t learn from our children? One lesson corona has taught me…children are the leaders of the future. We have so much to learn from them. Enjoyed getting beat by six-year-old Aliya.”

    Meera also shared that she currently spending quality time at home with her family. She added that she is also “cleaning, trimming, organising and living it up.”

  • Mahira Khan is ‘upset’ with Meera Jee for the first time

    Mahira Khan is ‘upset’ with Meera Jee for the first time

    Meera Jee’s contempt for Mahira Khan is no secret. Meera has often voiced her dislike for Mahira on several occasions and has referred to her an “overrated actress.”

    But it appears that when the two meet, there’s no hate, only love. Mahira and Meera both recently attended the first Pakistan International Screen Awards in Dubai where they happened to cross paths. And Sheheryar Munawar recorded the entire interaction on his Insta story.

    In the video, Mahira can be seen telling Meera that she is upset with her for critising her yet again.

    “This is the first time I am actually upset with you Meera Jee after becoming friends because you said something about me again,” said Khan.

    To this, Meera responded, “I swear I never said anything about you Mahira.”

    Watch their interaction here:

    Earlier in January, Meera in an interview had remarked that “Mahira is not a talented actor. I am more brilliant than her,” adding that the superstar only gets importance because she shared the screen with Shah Rukh Khan in the Bollywood film Raees.

    Let’s start with this picture of Meera and Humayun Saeed from their drama. Not sure what shocks us more – Humayun Saeed or Meera’s makeup.

    ‘Darkest time of my life’: Imran Abbas pens emotional note on father’s demise

    Imran Abbas penned an emotional note on his father’s demise, who passed away on Sunday, saying this was the darkest time in his life.

    “Perhaps this is the darkest time of my life…I lost my father, my strength, my backbone. I can’t stand up straight at the moment. Thanks for your messages and posts but I won’t be able to reply to them for a while,” Imran wrote on Instagram.

    “It’s like breathing bricks and with huge lump in my chest with lots of guilt of not giving him time, saying what I shouldn’t have said and not saying what I should have.”

    He continued, “Looking around for the echoes of his voice which I won’t ever listen again, the touch I’ll never feel again, his face which became a thing of past.”

    “Please value your parents because there is no one in this whole universe like them,” the actor asserted, “Give them love and time, that’s all they want. Otherwise we are just left with regrets and remorse.”

    Meanwhile, fans and collegues, including Meera and Reema, expressed their condolences and sent prayers for the deceased.

    Meera Jee can’t believe she passed her driving test

    Meera Jee has been pretty active on Instagram lately. The actor has been sharing pictures and videos from her recent trips to the US and the Maldives as well as throwback pictures from when she and her co-stars were promoting their film Baaji.

    Meera recently shared that she needs to give her driving test and she was having trouble preparing for the test because she doesn’t like to study.

    Meera expressed how studying for the exam made her sleepy and gave her dark circles. She also appealed to her fans to give her ideas on how she can pass the test.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-kD5cHzEp/

    In between all the studying, Meera remembered that it was her friend Yousaf Salahuddin’s birthday so she decided to record a short video wishing him a happy birthday using her ‘Driver’s Manual’ as a prop.

    In her next post, Meera shared that she passed her exam.

    “I am still in shock. I am still in shock how I pass the test?” she wrote in her caption adding that she is on her way back to Pakistan.

    Meera then shared a picture of herself and her alleged husband Captain Naveed, asking her followers how they look together before casually mentioning again that she has passed her driving test.

    We do wish Meera had shared some pictures and videos from her test. But, she’s shown us the right way to prepare for an exam: make sure you document it on Instagram.
