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’.
Imran Abbas has stepped in to defend Meera after reports of her being admitted to a mental facility in the United States started doing the rounds on social media and television.
“Meera called me this morning to clarify to all of our media/social media that she is perfectly fine and there is nothing wrong with her mental health,” wrote Abbas on social media. “Kindly don’t sensationalise the story and make fun of her. Calling someone mentally unstable is not a bloody joke.”
“She doesn’t need your sympathies or prayers to be fine. Kindly don’t show this fake concern by putting status. Let’s pray for our sick society, news channels and social media which can actually push anyone to commit suicide by their petty jokes and flimsy humour,” the actor added.
Meanwhile, speaking exclusively to The 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 she does know who started this terrible rumour and asserted there is no truth to it.
When asked about the video of Meera’s mother Shagufta Zahra, in which she appeals to Prime Minister Imran Khan to bring back her daughter, Hasan said that Zahra is elderly and hard of hearing. He added that Meera had recently gone to get vaccinated for COVID-19 and had narrated details of her experience to her mother who misunderstood them.
On the other hand, speaking to a local media outlet, Meera’s mother claimed that reports of the actor being admitted to a mental facility were true.
“I received a call from Meera on April 5 and she kept crying,” Zahra told the media outlet. “She was telling me that the US police is sending her to a psychiatric facility. She did not tell me why they were doing that, but said she repeatedly told them that she was an actor and not mentally ill.”
Speaking to the same media outlet, Meera’s manager Muhammad Qasim and another family member trashed the reports and Zahra’s claims saying that “Meera is perfectly fine, both in terms of her mental and physical health”.
Qasim alleged that the actor’s mother is spreading rumours to resolve a personal dispute. Meanwhile, the family member said that Meera is in fact in touch with her father and there is more to the story than what is being discussed on social media.
As per the latest ‘reports,’ Meera has been released from the psychiatric facility after her husband Captain Naveed paid $50,000 to get her released. The report further claimed that the actor has been given 48 hours to leave the United States.
The Current has reached out to Meera for further clarification.
Meera Jee has reportedly lost her phone and has now requested her fans and followers to help her find it.
In a video message, Meera informed her fans about the lost item saying: “I have misplaced my phone, my iPhone”.
She also offered a reward to whoever finds her lost phone.
“I will give 5 lac as a reward to whoever finds my phone,” said the actor.
Earlier this year, Meera was accused of fraud and earning money through illegal means by a family. In response to the allegations of fraud, she did an emotional and chaotic press conference in which she threatened to hang herself publicly if the allegations are proven to be true.
“I will hang myself if I am found guilty of fraud and corruption. Some elements are targeting me and continuously doing propaganda. I challenge all those who are involved,” a teary-eyed Meera had said.
She went onto say that much like the character she has played on screen, she is a heroine in real life as well.
“I am a heroine in my real life,” stated the actor. “My whole life and career are based on struggle and hard work. I’m the superstar of Pakistan, I’m the heroine of Pakistan. In films and in real life, I live in the character of a heroine.”
