Mahira Khan addresses the incident of crowd throwing object on stage at Baluchistan Literature Festival


Mahira Khan has spoken up on the mishap at the Baluchistan Literature Festival in Quetta on Wednesday, where someone from the crowd threw an object on her.

The Humsafar actress took to her Instagram account to express her anger and concerns over the incident, which saw the actress hit by an object, when she was sitting next to Wajahat Rauf on stage for a discussion.

Alongside a video from the event, Mahira penned, “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.”

She continued, 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.”

The Verna actress further admitted, “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.”

Mahira Khan concluded her powerful message thanking her fans and friends for their concern, “Been getting a lot of msgs. Thank you for the concern and love my way. Makes me feel super grateful.”
