You have to hand it to the woman. She may sound a little loopy at times, and yet there are times when our very own film star Meera’s astuteness as an artist comes to the fore. Take, for instance, her recent statement. When someone asked her whether she’d like to work on Lahore stage, the gal known for her verbal gaffes said she can consider working in theatre if the producers cough up the amount of moolah that she demands. This means, whatever she quotes is non-negotiable. Isn’t she priceless!?
