Mahira Khanat a recent event in Pakistanfaced a distressing moment when an object was thrown at her onstage by a member of the crowd. The actress has since responded to the incident, labeling it as ‘unacceptable.’
Mahira Khan posted a video from the event on her Instagram account on Thursday, accompanied by a lengthy note expressing her concerns.The actress admitted feeling frightened by such incidents, emphasizing that they establish a troubling precedent.

“What happened at the event was uncalled for. No one should think it’s ok to throw something on stage, even if it’s a flower wrapped up in a paper plane. It sets the wrong precedent. It is unacceptable. There are times I get scared, not just for myself, but for others who may be trapped in a mob like situation,” she wrote.

Mahira then called out the miscreant and argued that maybe she should have walked out of the event. “But hear me out – While we were on our way back someone said ‘ after this we won’t have an event here’. I disagreed completely. That is not the solution. Here was a crowd of 10,000 or more… who were showing their love and excitement – the way they know best. Because I could see them I could see they didn’t know how to contain/express their excitement. Whoever the miscreant was, was 1 out of 10,000. Maybe I should have gotten up and left, maybe the crowd could have been screened, maybe I should not have been put on the spot…Lots of could haves and should haves,” she added.

The actress concluded her post by saying, “What I do feel strongly about is that – we need more events such as these in More cities of Pakistan. The more you are exposed the more you are aware and educated. Normalise it. And see what happens. People, cities, our culture, our understanding of each other (which lacks), unity (which lacks even more)… It will all flourish! I met the most amazing people. We sat together under the beautiful Quetta sky, ate delicious food.. while we shared stories, laughed and made plans for my next visit. I come back enriched. I love you Quetta. Thank you for the insane amount of love. There shall and will be a next time.. and on every end we will be better. InshAllah.”

Mahira’s supporters echoed her sentiments, rallying behind her in the comments section. Some lauded her for her graceful handling of the situation, while others urged against resorting to such disruptive acts during events.
