A day after a miscreant threw an object at her during a public event, Pakistani star Mahira Khan condemned the incident saying she felt scared to be caught in a "mob-like" situation.

Aap toh cheezein phenkne lagein hain (This was wrong. You have now started throwing things at me)" she can be seen saying in the clip circulating online.

On Thursday evening, Mahira shared a lengthy note on her official Instagram page addressing the incident. "What happened at the event was uncalled for. No one should think it's ok to throw something on stage, even if it's a flower wrapped up in a paper plane. It sets the wrong precedent. It is unacceptable. There are times I get scared, not just for myself, but for others who may be trapped in a mob-like situation," she wrote, thanking fans and followers for their concern and love.

Mahira also said more literary events need to be organised in more cities of Pakistan. "The more you are exposed to, the more you are aware and educated. Normalize it. And see what happens. People, cities, our culture, our understanding of each other (which lacks), unity (which lacks even more).. it will all flourish!" The actor expressed gratitude towards the people of Quetta who welcomed her with open arms.

"I met the most amazing people. We sat together under the beautiful Quetta sky, ate delicious food.. while we shared stories, laughed and made plans for my next visit. I come back enriched. I love you Quetta. Thank you for the insane amount of love. There shall and will be a next time.. and on every end we will be better. InshAllah."
