In the midst of mounting online chatter and industry buzz, Meera has finally addressed the controversy surrounding her recent podcast appearance, choosing grace over confrontation as she gears up for one of the most anticipated releases of her career.

The veteran Pakistani film and television star is currently in the spotlight for her upcoming film Psycho, slated to hit cinemas on Eid-ul-Adha 2026. However, her promotional journey took an unexpected turn when a podcast featuring journalists Irshad Bhatti and Rehan Tariq stirred controversy across digital platforms.

The interview, which quickly made rounds on social media, drew criticism for what many viewers described as an unnecessarily harsh and demeaning tone toward the actress. As backlash intensified, Irshad Bhatti issued a public apology, acknowledging that his questioning may have crossed a line.

Appearing recently on Abdul Hayee Siddiqui’s podcast, the actress addressed the situation with a composed and measured response. When asked directly whether the controversial podcast had been a paid appearance, Meera avoided fueling speculation.

“I was his guest, and he promoted my film so well,” she said, subtly redirecting the narrative. “Please invite him to your show and ask him your questions about the podcast. I can’t say anything about what happened on his podcast.”

Meera emphasized that her priorities lie firmly with her audience and her film.

“My film is about to be released, so I have no complaints against him. Why would I say anything?” she added. “I just want everyone to watch my film on Eid-ul-Adha and share their feedback with me. I don’t need anything else.”
