Here’s an interesting scene. Film star Reema was on Saher Lodhi’s show and both were chatting away like long-time friends. After a while, Saher L came up with a set of multiple choice questions (how creative is that?) which Reema had to answer. One of the questions was about three actresses who, in Reema’s view, should get married. The three names included Meera. When Reema didn’t take her name Saher L inquired why, to which Reema innocently replied, “Isn’t she already married?” Then she quickly cleared the air by saying that since she had been living abroad she didn’t know what was happening in Pakistan, and apologised to Meera while looking into the camera.

And you thought Reems the dreams babe is harmless!
