Female journalist clears the air about why she had slapped the boy on live TV!
A video clip of the female journalist identified as Maira Hashmi went viral on social media showing her slapping a boy while giving a live beeper.
Maria Hashmi was reporting on the festival of Eid al-Adha for a private news channel and that viral clip overnight made her an internet sensation.
Hashmi took to Twitter to post a clarification regarding the incident.
According to her, the boy was harassing the family she was interviewing. Even after politely asking him to stop, the boy went on with the heckling, which made Hashmi lose her cool and she slapped him.
“This guy was harassing the family during the interview – which made the family upset. I first lovingly explained that don’t do this, but despite the explanation, this guy didn’t understand and was making a lot of noise – after which I made sure that his action wouldn’t be tolerated by giving him an opportunity,” she said in a tweet.
Well, her explanation has left the opinion of the netizens divided. Some came out supporting her but for many, that was not an act of a journalist.
