"Famous Pakistani Singer Shazia Manzoor Slaps Comedian Sherry Nanha During Live Show"

During an episode of the show "Public Demand," Pakistani singer Shazia Manzoor became visibly upset after comedian Sherry Nanha made a joking reference to taking her on a honeymoon. Nanha's lighthearted remark about taking Manzoor to Monte Carlo for their honeymoon prompted her to react angrily.

In a viral video of the incident, Nanha is seen jokingly asking Manzoor about her preference for class during their honeymoon, which led to an unexpected altercation. Manzoor responded by striking Nanha multiple times and disparagingly referring to him as a "third-class" individual.

Host Mohsin Abbas Haider intervened, urging Nanha to adhere to the script and refrain from improvisation to avoid such confrontations in the future. Manzoor expressed her dissatisfaction with Nanha's behavior, emphasizing the need for respectful communication, especially towards women.
