Meera Hits Back at Critics Over Psycho’s Box-Office Performance

LAHORE: (Showbiz Desk) – Veteran Pakistani actress Meera Jee has responded to critics who appeared to judge her career success based on the box-office performance of her latest film Psycho, shifting the focus from commercial figures to resilience, self-worth and perseverance in the entertainment industry.

Taking to Instagram, the Lollywood star shared a series of posts featuring her portraits alongside messages about failure, success and the people who remain supportive during difficult times.

One of the posts read: “They call me flop because my film Psycho didn’t make 100 crores. I call myself brave because I survived the people who left me after it.”

In another message, Meera wrote: “A film can flop, a woman cannot.”

Through the posts, the actress appeared to challenge the entertainment industry’s increasing focus on major box-office figures, particularly the coveted “100 crore club”, as a measure of an actor’s success.

Rather than allowing a film’s commercial performance to define her career, Meera turned attention towards her personal journey and the resilience required to continue after people in her circle allegedly distanced themselves following the film’s performance.

One of the posts featured an intense close-up portrait of Meera looking directly into the camera. She wore a navy-blue blazer with bold red lipstick and dark eyeliner, complemented by statement gold heart-shaped earrings featuring ruby-toned embellishments.

Known for her longstanding career in Pakistani cinema, Meera has remained a prominent figure in the entertainment industry despite facing criticism and experiencing professional highs and lows over the years.
