Actress says she considers herself a strong woman who rarely asks for help
LONDON: Renowned Pakistani actress Mahira Khan has broken her silence over an unpleasant incident she faced during the promotion of her latest film love Guru in London.
The episode occurred when Mahira, accompanied by actor Humayun Saeed, visited the Indo-Pak Supermarket in the Ilford area of London to interact with fans and promote the film. However, the meet-and-greet event turned chaotic due to poor arrangements and lack of crowd control, leading to a distressing situation for the actress.
A video of the incident went viral on social media, showing Mahira caught in a crowd while visibly distressed as a security guard approached her in an inappropriate manner. The clip sparked public outrage, with many criticizing the event organizers for negligence and inadequate security measures.
Humayun Saeed intervened promptly, ensuring Mahira’s safety and helping push the crowd back. His timely action was widely appreciated.
Speaking about the incident on a private tv show recently, Mahira said she considers herself a strong woman who rarely asks for help. However, she shares a strong understanding with Humayun. “When I was distressed, Humayun instantly sensed it and came to my aid,” she said.
Humayun Saeed, while recounting the incident, stated, “I would help any woman in distress, not just Mahira.”
The incident has reignited conversations about the need for better event management and security, especially during celebrity appearances.
