Pakistani internet personality Chahat Fateh Ali Khan has announced legal action against television host Mathira following her allegations of harassment during his appearance on her show.

The controversy arose after a widely circulated Instagram video showed Khan moving closer to Mathira while singing his song Bado Badi. The clip also captured him placing his arm around her and holding her arm repeatedly, despite her visible discomfort.

In a video titled Mathira Breaks Silence on Harassment by Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, the host expressed her unease, stating, “I was very uncomfortable because I don’t do this, I don’t hug people.” She also claimed that the footage was recorded without permission, adding, “Filming from the back was not allowed on my set.”

Here’s what he had to say about the allegations:

Responding on Instagram, Chahat denied the allegations, asserting that Mathira had invited him to boost her show’s ratings. He also claimed that she had “put her arm around [his] waist” during a post-show photo session. Defending himself, he said, “Your own worker, one of the cameramen, recorded the video, and I got it from them.”

He concluded by threatening legal action: “I have spoken to my lawyers… I will take you to court. I did not harass you.” Mathira has yet to respond publicly.
