Sahir Lodhi defends his onscreen outburst, continues to miss the point
A video clip of Sahir Lodhi interrupting and then lecturing a female guest on his TV show Ishq Ramzan went viral in the past few days, and the TV personality now asserts that those who are criticising him are misguided and unfair.
During yesterday's show Lodhi brought up the incident and claimed that no one was talking about how he had later apologised to the woman he'd interrupted. "No one ran the clip where I asked for forgiveness."
Lodhi has often claimed that he's unfairly treated by the media and his critics, saying: "I have survived doing what I want to do despite all the criticism and accusations."
However, during his defense, just as in his apology, he continued to miss the point that his guest was never criticising Pakistan's founder in the first place. He also seemed to not understand why it was offensive that he interrupted her, despite making it very clear that he himself hates being interrupted.
Case in point: in this clip, at the beginning of his talk, Lodhi overhears someone whispering in the audience and shuts them down. "Please tell this person to stop talking," he says to someone off camera. "Please stop talking."
We guess Sahir Lodhi hates interruptions - unless he's the one causing the disruption, of course.
