In a shocking turn of events, Pakistani singer Maha Ali Kazmi has accused fellow musician Ali Noor of sexual harassment and sabotaging her audition for the popular TV show “Coke Studio.”
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Kazmi shared a lengthy post detailing the alleged incidents of harassment by Noor. In the post, she claimed that Noor made inappropriate advances towards her during a meeting and also touched her inappropriately.
Kazmi further claimed that Noor had a personal vendetta against her and had deliberately sabotaged her audition for Coke Studio. She alleged that Noor had used his influence to convince the show’s producers to reject her audition, citing personal reasons.
The singer also revealed that she had been hesitant to come forward with her allegations against Noor, fearing backlash and repercussions. However, she felt compelled to speak out after Noor’s recent public statements regarding his own struggles with mental health.
Kazmi’s allegations have sparked a major controversy in the Pakistani music industry, with many fans and fellow musicians expressing their shock and support for the singer. Noor, meanwhile, has not yet responded to the allegations.
The #MeToo movement has gained momentum in Pakistan in recent years, with several high-profile cases of harassment and assault being exposed. Kazmi’s allegations against Noor have once again highlighted the need for a safer and more respectful working environment for women in the entertainment industry.
