The influencer Shaikh Maryam Ali shared a video on Instagram ranting about throwing a coffee at a female staff member at a store in a Hyderabad mall for allegedly mocking her. The footage has since gone viral on the internet and sparked widespread criticism, with many demanding strict action against the influencer. She claimed that when she entered a store at a Hyderabad mall, one of the female employees laughed at her. According to Ali, she asked the employee why she was laughing, but she denied doing so. The worker allegedly misbehaved with her kids, too and at this point, angered by her alleged mockery, Ali threw her coffee at the employee. She even shared a video of coffee split on a store counter.

What did Ali claim in her video?

The video opens with Ali telling her followers where she is and calling a store employee visible in the background “stupid.” In the next shot, she claims that the store clerk is “nakchari” and asks her followers to stay with her, claiming that she will teach the store employee a lesson. She then says she hurled coffee at the employee and, in the process, got some beverage spilt on her. She continues to berate the employee until the end of the video.

Netizens react to the viral video.

One user wrote, “You’re the best ad for birth control.” Another wrote, “You said behaviour is important. Look at yours.” One user commented, “Please sue this lady for causing distress and harm to that employee by throwing coffee on her and threatening her. This behaviour should not be encouraged. Girl, please stop doing these things for mere views. Stop being lazy, get creative and start making real content instead of throwing tantrums. You could have ignored the whole scenario but defamed a salesgirl who gets paid very little. Have some empathy, please!”
