Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, who has been vocal about current affairs and social norms that oppress women in the society, recently attended the Pakistan Literature Festival in Quetta. Clad in a saree, Mahira looked bespoke as she interacted during the event. However, she met with an unfortunate incident when an object was thrown at her from the crowd while she was on stage. 

Sharing a video from the event, Mahira took to Instagram and wrote, 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. There are times I get scared, not just for myself, but for others who may be trapped in a mob like situation.”
