Commenting on the video a user wrote, “If same event happens with any female celebritie by any random men, then today news headlines will be like “celebrities got molested by men”, while another said, “Jail me daalo ladki ko.”
A third netizen wrote, “Let’s see a middle aged short guy do exactly the same with Madhuri or Sridevi or Kareena and get away with it.”
While fourth one said, “So not cool! What if the roles were reversed? Honestly, that shouldn’t even be a consideration… whatever happened to personal space & consent?” and fifth one asked, “What is wrong is wrong, it doesn’t need the “If the genders were reversed… ” argument.”
“There is definitely less outrage over male stars being hugged or kissed by female fans suddenly. I hope we reach a point where harassment of men is called out with equal fervor,” read another comment.
On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan has, Atlee’s Jawan and Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki in the pipeline. He will also make a cameo appearance in Salman Khan’s Tiger 3.
