Hyderabad Influencer Throws Coffee at staff in Sarath City Mall

A social media influencer from Hyderabad, identified as Shaikh Maryam Ali, is at the center of a controversy after a video emerged showing her throwing coffee at a Calvin Klein employee inside Sarath City Capital Mall.

The incident, captured on camera, circulated widely on social media platforms, triggering sharp criticism from users and calls for disciplinary measures. The video shows coffee being thrown across the store counter, with the employee visibly reacting in frustration. Additional footage shows Ali wiping coffee off her clothing.

Ali later shared her side of the story, alleging that store personnel laughed at her as she walked in. According to her, when she questioned the behavior, the staff member denied any such action. She also claimed that the same employee mistreated a group of children who were consuming beverages in the store, which she said provoked her response.

In the video, Ali is seen directing derogatory terms toward the employee, accusing them of misbehaving. Her comments included calling the staff member "stupid" and "nakchari."

The incident has drawn significant attention, with social media users condemning the influencer's behavior. Many demanded that mall authorities and Calvin Klein take action.

One user tagged the mall and the brand, writing, “@sarathcitycapitalmall please restrict her access to the premises. @calvinklein, back your staff against this harassment.”

Another post stated, “Her attitude is unacceptable. Hope the store lodges an official complaint. This is no way to interact with service staff.”

Several commenters pointed out the contradiction between the influencer's public messaging and her actions. One user said, “You spoke about behavior—your actions don’t reflect your words.”

Others criticized her for posting the video herself. “She had the audacity to upload the clip thinking she was in the right. Unbelievable,” a user remarked.
