In a shocking turn of events, popular internet comedian and singer, Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, faced harassment from an angry crowd in Sheikhupura.
The incident unfolded as Chahat, who recently announced his foray into politics and candidacy in the upcoming national elections in 2024, visited the area to rally support among his fans.
In a now-viral video clip, Chahat Fateh Ali Khan can be seen walking down the street while a group of people surrounds him, hurling insults and laughter in his direction.
