Mehwish Hayat calls out fan who tried to wrap his arms around her

Mehwish Hayat calls out fan who tried to wrap his arms around her

The actor shared the incident on Instagram and thanked a friend for having her back.
07 Mar, 2022

Fans often tend to forget that celebrities are humans too, with boundaries of their own and that those boundaries need to be respected. Actor Mehwish Hayat is "shocked at how much liberty fans sometimes think they can take with artistes." The Load Wedding actor was present at a meet-and-greet in Houston, Texas where many fans lined up to take photos. One fan, however, went a little further by trying to wrap his arms around Hayat's back, but was pushed away by CEO of HUM FM, Rehan Siddiqi.

The incident was shared by a fan page on Instagram and was reposted by the actor. Hayat wrote that she wasn't aware of the incident and thanked Siddiqi for his gesture and for having her back, literally.

She described Siddiqi as a "gentleman" and wrote that people should learn "what being a true gentleman is all about" from him. Siddiqi re-shared Hayat's story and said, "some people need to earn manners of meet-and-greet when around women."

Unfortunately, many fans believe celebrities are 'public property', which leads them to believe that they have the right to do whatever they please to them. In Hayat's case, just because a celebrity is standing next to you doesn't mean you have the right to wrap your arms around her or get too close.

We don't know what the fan's intention was, but everyone needs to remember that celebrities are entitled to personal space. If you want to get closer to a celebrity, it would be best to ask for their consent first. After all, everyone deserves to be respected.

Do not get me wrong but when it’s a good looking guy it’s protecting and being a gentleman. The ugly guy normally is a pervert harrasser!

Well because this fan lives overseas and over seas even pakistani women feel a great honor to be wrapped around other men's arms even if they are not their husband and even if they are married n in the presence of their wives is considered an acceptable thing, as other pakistani n non pakistani men wrap arms around their wives. Funny but true. Stay overseas and experience this phenomenon.

What is this man who wrapped his arm around her was Joe Biden, Barack Obama, PM IK, or UN General Secretary? Then she would have taken selfies. She should understand that in public gatherings anything can be done by fans. Well, she was also in a different culture. So, a reminder to her that she should maintain distance from fans in order to avoid such incidents in future. Be humble and polite, automatically fans will get the message. No need to make a mountain of a molehill.
