Sara Khan Alleges Threats, Safety Lapses At Delhi Fashion Event
Sara Khan didn't reveal the name of the organisers; she asked her fellow artists and colleagues to be aware and take necessary precautions when coming to any events.
TV actress Sara Khan, known for her roles in shows like Sasural Simar Ka and Sapna Babul Ka…Bidai recently opened up about her horrifying encounter at a fashion event in Delhi. In an Instagram video, the Bigg Boss 4 fame talked about a series of occurrences that allegedly made her feel unsafe and disrespectful, prompting her to offer a strong warning to her friends and colleagues in the entertainment industry.
Although the actress didn't reveal the name of the organisers, she asked her fellow artists and colleagues to be aware and take necessary precautions when coming to any events.
In the clip, the actress shared, 'I'm making this video to alert my colleagues and other event industry professionals about my terrible experience with the organisers of Delhi 6 Fashion Runway Week. I've worked in this profession for over 18 years, and this is by far the worst experience I've ever had. I was meant to attend the event on August 2nd in Delhi, a place I've always loved and where everyone has always been so warm."
'But this time, the organisers failed to provide basic safety, hospitality, and commitments. They promised, but they moved the hotel without notification, leaving me in an unknown and shady location with no help from their side," she added.
Sara Khan Accused Organisers of Threatening Team Members
The actress further shared that the only relief provided to her was a car and driver, which she considered insufficient and unpleasant given the overall disorganisation.
When she refused to continue with the event under such circumstances, one of the organisers allegedly threatened her team members. Feeling scared and unprotected, she had to book her travel back and take necessary precautions to ensure her and her team's safety.
Sara also apologised to the fans waiting for her at the event and said, 'I apologise to those who were expecting me at the event. I'm very sorry for that. My safety was at stake, and I had to prioritise it. This incident was very inappropriate, and I'm speaking out to warn others in the profession."
She wrote in the caption, 'After years of doing events, this was the worst experience I'd ever had. I don't want to name anyone because this was the entire management's duty, which they failed to meet. I'm just sharing this video to remind my fellow artists and colleagues to be aware and take the required precautions. It was even my fault that I completely trusted the event management's words. As they say, experiences are very crucial for learning."
Sara Khan's Work Front
Sara will be next seen alongside Rajpal Yadav in the upcoming film, Camp Decent. Helmed by Sandeep Kumar Rana, the official release date of the film is yet to be announced.

‘My ego is too fragile…': Scarlett Johansson opens up about why she doesn't use social media
Navigating this digital age feels no less than walking across a minefield. Struggling with your follower count, watching people upload their highlight reels on their social media accounts and feeling like you're not doing well enough in love, career, and life are feelings too many of us are familiar with. While it might feel like you are going through this journey all alone, Scarlett Johansson showed us that she is in the same boat as us. In an episode of The Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast, the Black Widow actor opened up about why she avoids using social media, stating anxiety to be a major contributing factor. 'I honestly am too fragile a person to have social media. I can't. My ego is too fragile. I'm like a delicate flower. I like the smell, but..I have enough anxiety that would give me so much anxiety,' she said. Recalling a particularly self-introspective moment, the Avengers actor shared: 'I had Instagram once for three days, and then I started realising that I had spent 20 minutes looking at somebody's Instagram page, who has worked for a friend of mine, I'm like, 'Now I know you have a pitbull and two children, and now you live in Burbank' and I was like, 'What? I just wasted 17 minutes of my time!' 'I now feel like I should move to California, get this specific dog and change my life in all these ways. I felt so bad, like I was missing out on this random person's life. I can't do this,' Johansson added. spoke to counselling psychologist Srishti Vatsa and understood how social media fuels comparison and what can you do to navigate such situations. 'Comparison, in general, can lead to feelings of unhappiness and dissatisfaction. It's important to understand the difference between healthy competition and unhealthy comparison. The constant showcasing of lives on social media is often driven by a need for validation. Social media makes it easy to see what others are doing, which can lead to constant comparisons — especially in relationships,' explained Vatsa. According to her, what people show online is often far from reality, but many end up feeling inadequate in their own lives or relationships while chasing the 'perfect' images they see. This can lead to frustration, sadness, or resentment. Piyali Maity, Clinical Director, Counselling Operations, 1to1help, told that social media fuels comparison in several ways especially with 'selective sharing'. 'The reel v/s reality is the most common, where people share only the best portions of their lives which are far from day-to-day reality,' she said, adding that the widespread use of filters and editing tools further increases the gap between reality and what is portrayed, making others' lives appear more glamorous or perfect. Validation that one gets from increased followers, likes and comments on the posts unconsciously leads to comparing one's popularity or success with others. 'What makes it worse is the constant exposure to updates and fulfilling experiences of others which can trigger one to compare oneself and feel like they are missing out on something better in life,' Maity added. Social media can inspire some people, but it's important to recognize when it starts having a negative impact. If you find yourself constantly comparing, overspending to match trends, or feeling unhappy with your own life, it's time to take a step back and reflect. To avoid these pitfalls, Vatsa suggested setting limits on your social media usage and focus on spending time with people in real life. 'Mindless scrolling, especially when it's used to escape from reality, can be harmful. It creates a cycle of seeking quick dopamine hits, which can hurt productivity and mental well-being,' she concluded.
