Netizen’s reaction to the video
The gesture done by Khan is considered offensive and crude by the general public, and hence some people demanded quick action. One user wrote, “Najayaz stan jo hai iske paas… baap kamaya yeh udayega court case mein.” However, some netizens had a different opinion. People pointed out that it seemed like he was just having a friendly banter with someone he knows. One person mentioned, “If an ordinary citizen had done the same, it wouldn’t have been in the news. No one would have cared about it. Best case scenario, the Gen Z’s would have labelled the ordinary citizen a savage. Just because he is the son of an influential person, people are making a mountain out of a molehill.” Another said, “He is joking around with someone he knows, it seems.”
