Journalist Maira Hashmi went viral on social media after her video created a buzz where she can be seen slapping a boy during live coverage.
Responding to queries, Hashmi took to her Twitter and clarified why she slapped the boy.
In her tweet, Hashmi wrote that while she was conducting an interview on the streets for her show, the boy in question was constantly bothering a family standing there.
“This boy was bothering a family during the interview, which made the family upset. I first tried to nicely tell him that his behaviour was not good, but it fell on deaf ears and he resorted to bothering the family even more. I, therefore, decided that the boy’s behaviour should no longer be tolerated,” she said.
