In the video Nasser was reporting on extreme weather conditions in Pakistan. She was in the middle of explaining the current situation in the country when a fly directly flew into her mouth. Momentarily, she choked and paused but soon recovered and continued with her reporting.

The video, since being posted, has accumulated nearly one million views. The post has also prompted people to ask various questions. Just like this Twitter user who asked, “Like a champ Far. Was it a fruit fly? House fly?” To which,Nasser replied “Regular fly. It was so gross.” Another individual expressed, “I've heard that when sleep with our mouth open we ingest all kind of bugs. Eeeeeww!” The anchor also shared her response and wrote, “Ewww is right.” A Twitter user posted, “Farah, I'm dying. Thank you for this. Lmao.” And, they also received a reply from Nasser who shared, “Glad to be of service friend."
