Popular television actress Hunar Hali was recently caught in a sticky situation after experiencing a wardrobe malfunction on the streets of Mumbai. The actress has now slammed the paparazzi for sharing the video online and also gave a befitting reply to trolls calling it a publicity stunt.
Hunar told ETimes that the video was shot without her consent and was later unnecessarily sensationalised. "It’s a human element, an unexpected nature of events that happens in day-to-day life. Capturing and distributing such videos without my consent, exploiting for sensationalism and focusing inappropriately on my body was a paparazzi’s individual call. What was the incident? A mere cup of a halter top came off, that’s it, but it was unnecessarily sensationalised," she lashed out.
The 12/24 Karol Bagh actress went on to question that why did the paps proceed to post it on their pages if they felt it was "an awkward slip". She also mentioned that her manager requested several media and pap pages to take the video off their social media handles, and they obliged as well, but some refused to delete the video despite multiple requests.
"If I did it for a publicity stunt then why will I get the posts removed? My people, my audience have seen my work. I’ve never done anything bold on screen. I am Hunar Hali who has never done nudity on-screen or off-screen which is why my the audiences supported me and criticised the paps for posting the video," she stated.
She further said, "I have never indulged in stunts like pulling my pants down while posing, turning sideways and showing lingerie to paps, or wearing sheer tops and exposing my body in front of the cameras. I was shocked to see the audacity and indecency of the person who posted such nonsense on their social media handle. Such a shame to see what levels have people gotten down to. It was a mere vulnerable state which should not have been shot."
"Mujhe ye behuda publicity nahi chahiye. Jo log karte hai, unhe ye sab mubarak ho," she added.
Hunar Hali has been working in the television industry for almost two decades now, and she has been a part of some of the most popular daily soaps, including Sasural Genda Phool, Thapki Pyar Ki, Chhal Sheh Aur Maat, Patiala Babes, Chhoona Hai Aasmaan, among others.
