Mathira’s reaction:
Mathira said, “Whenever a guest comes on our show, I treat them with respect, kindness and a good attitude. But filming a video in this way was a very wrong act. Being bold doesn’t mean anyone can come and hug you,”.
The model and host further explained, “I felt extremely uncomfortable. This video was not taken by our cameras but by Chahat Fateh’s phone without permission. Neither I nor my team knew about it. The show’s cameras are elsewhere while this video was taken from a different location, which was unauthorized.”
Mathira also mentioned, “As a woman, this was distressing because I do not engage in actions like hugging people.”
She revealed that Chahat Fateh posted the video without permission, and when asked to remove it, he refused to take it down and did not apologize.
Mathira warned viewers not to attempt to hug or shake hands with her if they see her anywhere.
She also added that she was ready to leave the set and had her car waiting outside when Chahat Fateh filmed the video, after which she immediately left the set.
