It was Mahesh Bhatt, who along with Mukesh Bhatt had launched Meera as an actor in Bollywood with 'Nazar' (2005), which was directed by Soni Razdan. Meera was paired opposite Ashmit Patel in the film that had failed at the box office.

This is not the first time that Meera has reached out to Bhatt for help.

Last year she had landed up at Bhatt's house at around 2 a.m. after being troubled by a guy. At that time she was living in Mumbai and didn't have anyone else to help her.

Bhatt had then asked Sevy Ali, who had produced 'Nazar', to help out Meera. But she was miffed with him because he refused to shelter her.

So what was it about Bhatt that made Meera call him again in her moment of distress?

'Well, I do have contacts in Pakistan and know people in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. She felt that I could make a few calls and get help coming her way. I was in fact in the process of doing so as well. I know the Human Rights Commission and other organisations there and could have done all in my capacity.

'However, as things stand today, both Meera as well as the man in question has filed a case against each other. It's all boiling down to some property dispute between the two of them. I had warned Meera that her past would one day catch up with her. She is now bearing the brunt of it.'
