Mahira Khan Calls Out Act of Throwing Object At Her On Stage
In her latest Instagram post, Mahira Khan shared her thoughts on the incident. Alongside a video clip from the event, she expressed her disappointment and concern. "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," she wrote.
Mahira further elaborated on her fears regarding such actions. She mentioned that incidents like these not only make her worried for her own safety but also for the safety of others who might find themselves in similar situations. "There are times I get scared, not just for myself, but for others who may be trapped in a mob-like situation," she added.
This incident has ignited conversations on social media about the safety and respect owed to public figures during events. Just last week, Indian performer and singer Sunidhi Chauhan encountered a similar issue.

The widely circulated video captures singer Sunidhi Chauhan's reaction to an incident in which a water bottle was thrown at her during her performance. The bottle dropped near her, causing her to visibly react in surprise.
In response to the bottle incident, Chauhan paused her performance to address the disruption, questioning the motive behind such actions. "Yeh kya ho raha hai? Bottle phenkne se kya hoga? Show ruk jayega. Do you want that?" she expressed, translating to, "What's going on? What will you get out of throwing bottles? The show will end. Do you want that?"
Sunidhi Chauhan was reportedly performing at the annual festival Zenith 2024, hosted by Shri Guru Ram Rai University, when a water bottle was thrown towards her during one of her popular songs. The incident was captured in a video shared on Instagram on May 3, which quickly gained traction, amassing 3 million views and over 60,000 likes.

One user wrote, "This is such pathetic behaviour; she deserves complete respect." Another wrote, "Instead of shouting, she responded well by singing... More respect." While one more user wrote, "She could’ve easily left the show. But she didn’t ❤️ Queen for a reason." Another user pointed out, "Some People want good, humble artists without them being humble to artists. It really felt really really bad for artist like Sunidhiji, if someone like her has to face this, imagine what average artist faces."
Attending live concerts offers fans a unique experience where music comes alive beyond recordings or streams. However, recent events have spotlighted the darker side of concert behaviour, particularly when audience members disrespect performers.
