The dramatic moment was caught on camera by bystanders and went viral on social media within hours. In the footage, masked youngsters suddenly appear, hurl eggs at Khan, and then flee the scene in seconds. Chahat can be seen visibly startled and shaken by the attack.
Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, who rose to fame with his quirky songs and comic performances, instantly became the talk of the town after the assault. While many social media users strongly condemned the act, calling it disrespectful and intolerable, others responded with sarcasm and jokes, turning the incident into yet another meme storm. لندن میں چاہت فتح علی خان پر انڈوں سے حملہ pic.twitter.com/uQYDNhAHN6
British police confirmed that an investigation has been launched. Authorities have collected CCTV footage from the area and are working to identify the two attackers. Officials stressed that such acts highlight rising intolerance and will not be allowed under any circumstances.
The attack has not only worried Chahat’s fans but has also sparked a wider debate on whether public figures need stricter security measures at open gatherings.

This incident highlights the thin line between fame and vulnerability in the digital age. Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, who entertains millions with humor, suddenly faced hostility in real life. The contrasting reactions—condemnation from fans and mockery from trolls—show the divided nature of online culture.
The attack on the popular singer also reflects rising intolerance in public spaces, where celebrities often become soft targets. The swift police action signals seriousness, but the bigger question remains: should public figures like Khan be offered better protection to prevent such humiliating and potentially dangerous incidents in the future?
Earlier, the police said two women were arrested on Friday for throwing an egg at PTI founder Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khanum during a media talk in Rawalpindi outside the Adiala Jail, where a hearing of the Toshakhana case was held earlier.
Footage of the incident was widely shared on different news channels and social media accounts, capturing the expression of shock on Aleema’s face when the egg was hurled at her.
