A viral video of Hyderabad influencer Shaikh Maryam Ali has caused a massive stir online after it showed her throwing coffee and shouting at a store employee inside a shopping mall. The incident, which remains unclear in its full context, occurred when Maryam Ali claimed she was insulted by a saleswoman laughing at her as she entered the store. Feeling disrespected, she admitted to losing her temper and throwing her coffee.
The video, which quickly spread across social media, shows Maryam Ali angrily confronting the staff while others clean up the spilled drink. She can be heard saying, “That girl is stupid, totally worst experience… she is so arrogant… is this how she greets customers?”
Social media users have strongly criticized Maryam Ali’s behavior. Many came to the defense of the employee, calling the influencer’s actions out of line. Some even called for her to be banned from the mall, with one user stating, “Girls like these should be banned from malls and sent to mental institutions,” and another suggesting, “She should be arrested for harassing the staff.” Others expressed similar disdain, remarking, “You can earn money, not class,” and demanding she be banned from all Calvin Klein stores in India.
In her defense, Maryam Ali later posted on Instagram, claiming that the store employee laughed at her and responded rudely when questioned. She further alleged that the staff told the children she was with to dispose of their drinks and mocked her afterward.
The incident has sparked a wider debate about customer behavior, respect for workers, and influencers’ influence on social media. No official statement from the mall or store has been issued yet.
