How users reacted

Many users lauded Mouni for leaving the event and prioritising her own dignity over everything else. One user commented, “Exactly, cheap behaviour deserves this only. Queen behaviour Mouni.” Another said, “Very good! Just cuz you paid someone doesn’t mean one can harass them.” A user asked, “What was the security doing?” A comment read, “She definitely should stand up against any form of harassment she is facing. In fact she should name and shame the men.” “Horrible men honestly very uncomfortable to face situation like this queen handled it well,” read another comment.

What happened at the event?

Mouni penned a long note on her Instagram Stories on Saturday to detail what happened at the event. She began, “Had an event at Karnal last and I am disgusted at the behaviour of the guests specially two uncles who are well aged to be grandparents. As the event started and walked on the stage uncles and family members (all men) put their hands on my waist to click pictures. Didn't like it when I said, ‘Sir pls remove your hand.’ On stage is even a better story. Two uncles stood right infront making lewd remarks showing lewd hand gestures, name calling I realised that and first politely gestured to them don't do it to which they started throwing roses at me.”
