Nadia Khan’s rant about Meera’s antics on her chat show last week was way over the top. Everybody knows what Meera is capable of. If the actress did not turn up on her programme and manhandled (no fun intended) one of the show’s staff members, there’s not much element of surprise in it.

What’s surprising, though, is the way the talk show host and her team made heavy weather of it. So much so that it even became a news item on the news channel. Hmm … methinks Nadia K wants some viewership.
