The scandal broke out when, in an interview with Iffat Omar, Mamya Jaffer stated that she had been harassed by actor Arsalan Khan on set, who believed she was fresh and easy to mingle with. Despite her unconventional avatar, she was uncomfortable and shut down any advances, she alleged. She elaborated on an incident from the sets of Meesni, where Arsalan allegedly used abusive language and broke into a physical altercation with her. She added that she will not shy away from naming and shaming that person, which has now led to a legal battle between the two.
