Meera on the ramp

Published October 27, 2012

Last week, TV channels reported that Pakistani film actress Meera participated in a fashion show in Lahore. You don’t know how to look at this news item. Judging by the way she acts and speaks her catwalk couldn’t have been less than minglish.

What the channels also reported is that someone stole a decent amount of dollars from Meera’s purse. We don’t believe these news networks. Why would Meera carry dollars? She knows they look far better in rupees.
