A night of celebration turned into an “ugly brawl” outside a high-profile party hosted by Prince Narula in Mumbai. A viral video circulating on social media shows actor and reality TV star Baseer Ali in a physical altercation with a paparazzo. The incident, which took place in the early hours of May 4, 2026, has sparked a massive debate online regarding the boundaries of the paparazzi and the safety of female celebrities in public spaces.
Allegations of Vulgar Comments and Harassment
The party was attended by several notable figures, including Raftaar, Shiv Thakare, and multiple Splitsvilla contestants like Soundharya Shetty, Zalak Gohil, and Kaira.
According to reports, the tension began when a cameraman allegedly started passing vulgar comments and teasing the female contestants, making them visibly uncomfortable. Witnesses claim the women informed Baseer of the harassment, prompting him to act as their “protective escort” for the remainder of the evening.
The Altercation and “Multiverse” of Reactions
Despite Baseer’s presence, the paparazzo allegedly continued his provocative behavior. The situation reached a breaking point as the party ended and Baseer headed toward his car. The viral footage shows Baseer grabbing the cameraman by the neck after the latter reportedly began hurling verbal abuses at him. While some netizens have criticized the use of violence, many fans have come out in support of the Splitsvilla winner, praising him for standing up against “predatory behavior” toward his female colleagues.
Baseer Ali Breaks Silence
Following the viral spread of the video, Baseer Ali has issued a formal statement addressing the brawl. While he did not justify the physical nature of the fight, he emphasized the need for a “safe and respectful environment” for women in the industry. As the entertainment world reacts to this clash, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the mounting friction between media personnel and celebrities in Mumbai’s nightlife circuit.
