They might be our heroes in reel life, but in the
real world, they aren’t above the mighty law. From Ijaz Ahmed to Ayyan
Ali, they all have spent nights in jail for a number of crimes they were
involved in.

Ayyan Ali
The most recent Pakistani celebrity to have made the headlines for her
fraudulent activities and eventually, the diva-like attitude in jail, is
supermodel Ayyan Ali. She was arrested from Benazir International
Airport, for carrying USD 500,000 and is currently under detention for
money laundering at the Adiala Jail. |

Ali Saleem
Better known to the world as Begum Nawazish Ali, the guy has done more
than donning up as a female to hurt his PR. He was once arrested for
beating up his mother, Farzana Saleem, breaking her nose in the process
over some financial issues. It was later found out that he was under the
influence of alcohol at the time of the scuffle. |

Meera
Meera has always made the headlines for the wrong reasons. She has not
only been in the news for her hilarious antics but also, twice because
she was issued an arrest warrant. In the year 2010, the actress was
caught carrying two passports in her name at the Karachi airport. She
got the second passport issued by claiming the first one as lost.
Later, Meera was accused of trying to marry again while she was already
in Nikah with a businessman. |

Asad Malik
Most of the new generation might not remember him, but he was quite the
hero till the last decade. Known for his performance in dramas like
Dasht and Aansoo, Asad Malik has also served time in jail.
Apparently, he had killed an innocent man by mistake with his automatic
gun. What’s interesting about this piece of news is that while Malik
served his time in jail, he made a new friend, who was later to serve as
the Prime Minister of Pakistan. |

Atiqa Odho
Known for her timeless beauty, her resilient acting skills, and her own
cosmetics line, Atiqa Odho was once arrested for carrying alcohol with
her while traveling on a flight. While she was detained at that time,
she was later let go. Rumor has it, her freedom had something to do with
her political affiliation with the then president, Pervez Musharraf.

captain, Moin Khan, landed in trouble when his wife called the cops on
