With the days passing, we’re only going worse in terms of moral values. These days one cannot pass a day or turn a news paper’s page without acknowledging a molestation or rape incident. After all, a surprising growth is observed in the number of assault cases recently.
Despite the strong amendments and stud transformations, authorities are simply unable to tackle the issue persistently. Though there are certain incidents in which women take the adverse advantage of the leniency of laws that are bluntly against men, there are no unconventional possibilities in the majority of situations.
Recently, a lot of people in Pakistan woke up to the news that Mahira Khan faced harassment at the LUX Style Awards 2018 when Javed Sheikh tried to forcibly kiss the actress. Soon the video on an awkward interaction between Pakistani actors Mahira Khan and Javed Sheikh went viral on Twitter and other social media platforms.
In the video, we can see Javed was presenting Mahira an award when he leaned in for a kiss. Mahira avoided the kiss by shying away and turning her face to the other side. The actress’ fans had been criticizing Javed for trying to kiss Mahira and just generally cringing at the awkwardness of it all.
Her fans even asked to take a stand and publicly call Javed out for his indecent act, social media was filled with negative comments for the veteran actor. He was trolled and how.

However, as suggested by fans, Mahira did take to her Twitter account to talk about the incident and wrote, “I have just woken up to such silly stuff floating around. It’s good to be aware and has an opinion but for God’s sake don’t use anything and everything to make the news. Javed Sheikh of all people! He is a legend and a mentor to all of us in this industry. Would vouch for him always.”

Soon, her followers were quick to react and questioned her why she flinched away if things are so healthy between the two.
Javed Sheikh is a face to reckon with in India as well, with films like Namastey London (2007), Om Shanti Om (2007), and more recently Tamasha (2015). Mahira, who made her Bollywood debut last year with Shah Rukh Khan in Raees was last seen in Verna. She was recently in the news when she was spotted smoking outside a New York hotel with Ranbir Kapoor.
