Listen to article
Pakistani actress Mahira Khan was met with an unruly crowd and apparent security lapses during a promotional appearance for her upcoming film at the Indo-Pak Supermarket in Ilford, East London.
The event, also attended by co-star Humayun Saeed, soon descended into disorder as the growing crowd overwhelmed limited security arrangements.
Eyewitnesses described instances of aggressive behaviour, with some individuals reportedly breaching the actress's personal space as she attempted to enter the venue.
While the event began smoothly, the situation quickly spiralled out of control as crowd numbers swelled and security arrangements proved inadequate.
Several young men in the crowd reportedly acted inappropriately.
Footage circulating on social media shows Mahira Khan appearing visibly distressed as she was jostled while trying to enter the store.
Some individuals allegedly attempted to touch her inappropriately amid the crowd surge.
Despite the disruption, Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed proceeded to the rooftop terrace for a scheduled appearance to greet fans, Express News reported.
However, video footage circulating online shows at least three individuals pushing towards the actress in a visibly unmanaged setting.
