Kaifi Khalil has taken over hearts of public by saving women. The Kahani Suno 2.0 singer, who stopped his performance at the event midway through and exited the stage, posted an official statement on Instagram and Twitter on Monday morning, rejecting claims that he had been hurt but criticising the gatecrashers.
“Hello everyone. I would just like to clarify the fake news that’s circulating around about me getting injured during my performance at the Karachi Eat yesterday [Sunday] which is not true. I appreciate everyone being concerned about my well-being and inquiring about it, but I am totally fine,” Khalil wrote in his statement on Instagram and Twitter.

He said he’s “disappointed and upset” because of the incident where women who came to “enjoy the evening with family and friends were harassed and treated inappropriately by a group of individuals that lacked decency and common sense”.
“The event got cancelled mid performance because I couldn’t continue with what was going on and because it became a safety concern for people in the audience as well. I request organisers to please take into consideration the safety of everyone attending when choosing the venue for such events [e]specially the ladies, so such incidents don’t happen. These events get organised so that people can come out to enjoy but there are some people who ruin the entire experience for everyone,” he said.

The ‘Kahani Suno’ singer shared that this was his second experience with this kind of situation and called it “disgusting and unacceptable”. “How can I perform when this happens? I request everyone please be mindful of each other and treat everyone with respect. THIS IS A MESSAGE TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT FEEL ENTITLED AND THINK IT’S ACCEPTABLE TO ACT INAPPROPRIATELY AND HARASS SOMEONE,” he reasoned.
“Sorry to everyone who came through today, things got out of hand due to trespassing and overcrowding so performances had to be cancelled,” he shared on Instagram Story. “I was extremely excited, the best I have ever sounded. I am extremely sorry once again. Stay safe.”Dil Ke Ishaaray hitmaker Taha G took to Instagram and issued a statement.
Social media reports said that lone individuals “forcefully entered” the gathering and that attendees were forced to exit through cracks in the walls or even climb them. People were sharing their festival experiences in droves on social media. People complained that “a ‘family only’ celebration transformed into ‘all males’ event,’ and several claimed that the crowding at the venue made it difficult for them to find their friends.
