Superstar Mahira Khan has finally opened up about the harassment she faced during a promotional event for her film Love Guru in London.

 

Speaking about the incident on ARY Digital’s show Buzz Launch, Mahira said, "I can usually handle myself and never felt the need for anyone’s help, but at that moment I felt very uncomfortable."

 

"I turned back and saw Humayun, upon which Humayun Saeed immediately intervened and brought the situation under control," she added.

 

 

Humayun Saeed also addressed the matter, saying, "If my sister or any woman were in such a situation in front of me, I would definitely come forward and defend her."

 

Discussing on-screen pairings, Mahira commented, "Humayun Saeed’s chemistry with Mehwish Hayat and Ayeza Khan looks great, and he always looks good on-screen with Ayesha Khan."

 

She also praised a Pakistani cinema legend, saying, "The real ‘love guru’ of the Pakistani showbiz industry is Waheed Murad, who looked like a hero in a true sense."

 

Earlier, during a promotional event for Love Guru at the Indo-Pak Supermarket in Ilford, London, Mahira Khan was physically harassed by at least three people. Videos circulating on social media showed chaotic scenes at the venue, where poor management led to a massive crowd losing control.

 

Sources told The Current that Mahira was harassed by a security guard and two other individuals inside the store. "It happened when she was trying to make her way to the terrace to wave at fans as part of the promotional event," a source shared.

 

They added that she appeared visibly shaken and hesitant to continue with the event, especially after the display of Indian flags at the venue during a time of sensitive cross-border relations.

 

However, the event continued as planned, reportedly because the actors had already been paid for their participation. According to sources, the store paid £5,000 for the appearance, but "She has not taken any money for the appearance. She agreed to attend the event for the film promotion. What happened there was shocking," said a source close to Mahira.

 

Despite her distress, Mahira and Humayun were later seen waving at fans from the store’s terrace in videos that surfaced online.

 

The clips making rounds on social media showed a visibly uncomfortable Mahira struggling to make her way into the store through the crowd.

 

Sources confirmed that Mahira filed a protest with the event organisers and expressed her disappointment and shock.

 

According to reports, a female reporter from a private news channel was also harassed during the same event and filed a police complaint.
