Renowned Pakistani host and model Mathira has expressed her anger over a viral video shared by singer Chahat Fateh Ali Khan. She criticized the incident, calling it an unauthorized invasion of her privacy.
The Viral Incident
Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, who appeared as a guest on Mathira’s show recently, posted a video on Instagram that quickly gained attention on social media. The video captured Chahat attempting to hug Mathira and shake hands with her.
Mathira’s visible discomfort in the video led to widespread discussions online. According to the host, the video was filmed using Chahat’s phone without her consent and not by the cameras in the studio.
Mathira Speaks Out
Reacting strongly to the video, Mathira called the act inappropriate and clarified her stance on personal boundaries:
“Whenever a guest comes on our show, I treat them with respect, kindness, and a good attitude. But filming a video in this way was a very wrong act. Being bold doesn’t mean anyone can come and hug you.”
The model further elaborated that she was unaware of the recording and deemed the angle inappropriate, explaining that such actions were unauthorized and violated her personal space.
No Apology or Resolution
Mathira disclosed that she requested Chahat Fateh to remove the video from his social media platforms, but he refused. She also stated that he did not offer an apology for his actions.
“As a woman, this was distressing because I do not engage in actions like hugging people,” she added.
Warning to the Public
Addressing her fans and the public, Mathira emphasized the importance of respecting personal boundaries:
“If you see me anywhere, do not try to hug or shake hands with me.”
She also revealed that she was prepared to leave the set at the time of the incident, with her car waiting outside. Chahat filmed the video just before she left the location.
Importance of Consent
Mathira’s reaction sheds light on the significance of maintaining professional boundaries, especially in public and work environments. She urged people to act responsibly and respect others’ personal space, highlighting that boldness or fame does not equate to open consent for such actions.
