Mathira calls out Chahat Fateh Ali Khan over inappropriate behavior

Host and model Mathira expressed her displeasure over an inappropriate video shared by comedian-singer Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, stating that despite being requested to delete the video, he has yet to remove it from his social media account.

Chahat Fateh Ali Khan recently appeared as a guest on Mathira’s show. 

Following the appearance, the comedian shared a video on Instagram that quickly went viral. 

In the video, Chahat can be seen attempting to hug Mathira and shake her hand, making her visibly uncomfortable as she tries to maintain her distance.

Reacting strongly to the video on her show, Mathira stated that the video was recorded from a different angle and shared without her consent.

 “Whenever a guest comes on my show, I treat them with respect, love, and kindness. But recording a video in this manner was unacceptable. Being bold doesn’t mean anyone has the right to hug or invade someone’s personal space,” Mathira said.

The host further clarified, “I was feeling very uncomfortable. This video was not recorded by our cameras but was secretly filmed by Chahat Fateh without permission. Neither I nor my team knew this was being filmed. The cameras for the show are positioned elsewhere, but this was filmed from a completely different angle, which is not allowed.”

Mathira emphasised how painful the incident was for her as a woman, adding, “I do not usually hug people.”

She also revealed that despite being asked to delete the video, Chahat refused to take it down or issue an apology.

 “This behavior is unacceptable. I was ready to leave the set, and my car was parked outside when this video was filmed. Afterward, I left the set immediately,” she added.
