Stay tuned with 24 News HD Android App
Lollywood diva Mahira Khan took to her Instagram handle and reacted strongly to an object being thrown at her during a recent event she had attended in Quetta.
The showbiz figure termed the incident as "unacceptable".
"No one should think it's okay to throw something on stage, even if it’s a flower wrapped in a paper plane. It sets the wrong precedent. It is unacceptable."
"This is wrong," Mahira said as her conversation with the host was interrupted by an object thrown by an unidentified individual from the crowd.
Mahira also said that she sometimes gets scared for anyone who can get into a mob-like situation when things like these happen but it was just one miscreant out of a crowd of 10000 people who sent her love.
According to her more events need to be organized all over the country so they can get normalized and people learn how to interact during such events.
“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.
“What I do feel strongly about is this we NEED more events such as these in more cities of Pakistan. The more you are exposed the more you are aware and educated. Normalize 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 and 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 until then. Khuda Hafiz Quetta.
“P.S. Do you know the roses here are magnificent? What’s strange is that it feels like they grow out of concrete.
“P.PS has been getting a lot of messages. Thank you for the concern and love my way. Makes me feel super grateful.
