Talk:Meera (Pakistani actress)

Untitled

It seems rather odd to have an article about the controversy before an article about the person. . .perhaps this ought to be moved to Meera (actress) or Meera LASTNAME? —Charles P. ^(Mirv) 20:28, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I wouldn't object to this article being moved to Meera (actress), with the controversy (such as it was) reduced to one section. I'll do this if there are no objections within the next few days. -- Brhaspati (^talk_contribs) 17:34, 2005 Mar 29 (UTC)

WP:BLP

Much of this article seemed to violate Wikipedia's guidelines for biographies of living persons. I've removed everything that struck me as a violation - see diff. Feel free to add them back if they can be sourced in a manner that satisfies WP:BLP. -- Arvind 13:39, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Taking a cursory glance at it, I think it still does. --Ronz (talk) 04:57, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

That doesn't appear to be a reliable source. Any idea where they obtained the information? --Ronz (talk) 07:25, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Moved Controversy section to talk

After it being removed without comment by an ip, I took a quick glance at it and the sources and think that it would be best to follow BLP's "Contentious material about living persons (or recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion."

It looks like a lot of scandal mongering and overdetailed trivia. --Ronz (talk) 15:56, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Moved related external links as well. --Ronz (talk) 15:59, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Controversy

Meera was for the first times hyped and controversial over the fact there was a kissing scene with Sir Taji in Mahesh Bhatt's movie, "Nazar. " Meera also received death threats for doing the scene. Then Prime Minister of Pakistan Shaukat Aziz promised proper security for Meera when she returned to Pakistan. Meera stood her ground and did say that she is an actress and that she has not done anything wrong. There were rumours of her being fined for kissing in a Bollywood Movie. The director of the movie, Mahesh Bhatt defended Meera and appealed to President Musharraf to help the cause of India-Pakistan friendship through exchange of entertainers.

The other major controversy surrounding the stunning actress was when she was married for a short term to a Pakistani businessman Atiq-Ur-Rehman, who was already married. Her ex-husband was also arrested for threatening her and charged. Up till today Meera denies any reports of her being Atiq-Ur-Rehman's second wife. Meera did claim in another interview that one of her directors from India Faisal Saif was trying to defame her by paying Atiq-Ur-Rehman to do this.

Meera was also stopped at the Karachi airport for the possession of two passports.

Meera's mother and brother Syed Ahsan Abbas were accused for kidnapping Abbas son by his ex-wife. Meera's name was mentioned along with her brother and mother. Meera came to her brother's rescue to the police station.

Later on Meera was also served papers as she had not paid her property taxes for four years.

Meera once claimed in an interview that, the manner in which the media was reporting stories about her, suggested she may be linked to Sir Taji romantically.

Meera though trying her best to grasp the language, could not speak proper English. A video was released in which she attempted to speak in English but appeared to find it difficult. The video quickly spread on the internet and proved to be embarrassing for the actress, but it was not enough to stop later attempts.

Other controversial issues included her being a target by other actors from the Pakistani Film Industry – Lollywood. At the Lux Style Award, some actors gave back their awards in order to protest against Pakistani stars going to the Indian Film industry. When Meera launched her website, the issues regarding her age as well as other criticism followed.

Meera entered India from Delhi, when the official entry point on her visa was Mumbai. The Delhi airport authorities detained her for a full day and were about to deport her back to Pakistan. Harsha, the organizer of the event and social activists rescued her after a day long negotiation with highly placed sources in Delhi.

Meera lodged a complaint on 7 September 2009 at Punjab's Chief Minister's Complaint Cell that Faisal Saif was trying to defame her reputation by creating a fake marriage between her and an agent working for Saif. Meera also said that Faisal was threatening to kill her. Faisal however denied all the allegations. On 15 October 2009, Meera presented audio tapes to the press, revealing conversations between her and Saif. The Actress claimed that Faisal has agreed that the fake marriage pictures were doctored by him. Faisal has again denied these allegations.

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 23:31, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Meera (entertainer) → Meera (actress) – (unbundled as requested) Fails WP:CRITERIA and sources, unlikely search term for readers: "actress Meera" = 647,000 results vs "entertainer Meera" = 241 results. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:26, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

• Support. "Entertainer" is a broad and ill-defined term; "actress" is more precise and makes for a more useful title. ╠╣uw [talk] 09:58, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

• Support; "(entertainer)" is always a bad way to title an article, and all articles titled that way should be moved to another title. I suppose there will never be a consensus for moving certain present articles, but they are still wrong. 168.12.253.66 (talk) 13:41, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Gossip and scandal-mongering

Per WP:NOTSCANDAL and WP:BLP, "Articles and content about living people are required to meet an especially high standard, as they may otherwise be libellous or infringe the subjects' right to privacy. Articles should not be written purely to attack the reputation of another person."

I've trimmed back the more blatant problems. It's pretty clear that tribune.com.pk needs to be used with extreme caution. --Ronz (talk) 19:15, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Linked with Meera (actress) filmography

I have removed the entire filmography from here and shifted it to the page Meera (actress) filmography because this list of her movies was not completed and was not reliable but the other list is more credible and reliable. (Mjabran2012 (talk) 15:19, 24 March 2015 (UTC))

Alleged marriage

I came to this page after reading a BBC News report about the court battle over her alleged marriage. The BBC is generally recognised by Wikipedia as being a Reliable Source, so I was genuinely surprised to find no mention at all of this controversy. After reading some of the discussion on this talk page I can see that there have been previous discussions about the matter, but it nevertheless seems very odd that a public figure has absolutely nothing on their Wikipedia page about their personal life ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 09:15, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
