At the Lux Style Awards 2018 ceremony yesterday, Mahira Khan came on stage to receive her very first LSA Awards, and this is what happened:

Whoopsie Daisies!
The leading lady has finally spoken out in defence of Javed Sheikh amidst the flaring peck-on-the-cheek fiasco gone wrong at the LSA 2018 evening.
In the video above, Mahira can be seen turning away as Javed Sheikh steps forward to give her a congratulatory (or rather excited?) kiss on the cheek, as she comes to receive her award.
A number of people took to social media to call Sheikh out on his behaviour, some poking fun at him and some quite concerned for the “poor ol’ chap”. However, Mahira tweeted in favour of the Na Maloom Afrad actor, quoting that she would “vouch for him always”.
She went on to say: “”I have just woken up to such silly stuff floating around. It’s good to be aware and have an opinion but for Gods sake don’t use anything and everything to make news. Javed Sheikh of all people! He is a legend and a mentor to all of us in this industry. Would vouch for him always.”
