Later she came to Sara’s defense, saying their friendship involves playful jabs.
Playful Gesture or Unwanted Kick?
Naira clarified that she wasn’t aware of Sara’s kick at first. She thought it was either Sara or Alis playfully hitting her. The 37-year-old actress explained that their close friendship often leads to physical interactions, which sometimes go unnoticed in public. Naira acknowledged that as public figures, they need to be mindful of their actions in public spaces. She said, “We are deep friends, so sometimes our hands and legs slip, and we forget we’re in a public place.”
A Lesson in Public Behavior
Naira emphasized that there’s nothing serious about the incident. She added that they will try to be more mindful and composed in public. The video sparked mixed reactions online, with some people criticizing Sara’s actions as inappropriate.
