Pakistani journalist Irshad Bhatti is facing strong criticism after a recent podcast interview with Meera went viral. The discussion, which was meant to promote Meera’s upcoming film Psycho, took an unexpected turn during the recording.
According to reports, Irshad Bhatti asked several questions related to Meera’s personal life instead of focusing on her film. The actress had joined the podcast mainly to talk about her latest project. However, the conversation shifted toward past controversies and alleged relationships.
During the interview, Irshad Bhatti referred to different claims and rumors linked to figures such as Sangeeta, Saud, and Humayun Saeed. He also mentioned names like Captain Naveed and Atiqur Rehman. Meera responded by avoiding these topics. She repeatedly said she was not aware of such claims and tried to bring the discussion back to her film.
The situation became more tense when Bhatti questioned Meera about a reported plan to build a hospital in her mother’s name. He asked about the funding and progress of the project. Meera again chose not to engage and encouraged viewers to focus on her upcoming film instead.
As the questioning continued, the atmosphere became uncomfortable. Meera eventually removed her microphone and stood up during the recording. She then walked out of the interview before it could conclude. Even at that moment, Irshad Bhatti continued to ask questions, according to the viral clip.
The video of the incident quickly spread across social media platforms. Many users reacted strongly to the interview. A large number of people criticized the style of questioning and described it as inappropriate. Others expressed support for Meera’s decision to leave the podcast.
Pakistani actress Mishi Khan also reacted to the situation. She publicly supported Meera and criticized Irshad Bhatti for asking controversial questions. Her comments added to the ongoing debate around the interview.
The incident has raised questions about interview ethics and boundaries in media. Critics argue that interviews should remain respectful and focused on the purpose of the appearance. Supporters of Meera believe the discussion should have stayed centered on her film.
