Has Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, crossed the line at a Bengaluru pub by flashing the middle finger during a public event? This question has ignited a storm of controversy, a police inquiry, and heated debates across social media platforms. On November 28, during a promotional event at a popular Bengaluru pub, Aryan Khan was seen greeting fans and the media with cheerful waves. However, the atmosphere shifted when a video went viral showing him allegedly flashing his middle finger towards the crowd. This incident quickly sparked outrage and triggered a police suo motu investigation to determine whether an FIR should be registered against him[4][1]. The complaint filed by a Bengaluru-based lawyer, Owaiz Hussain S, claims that Aryan's gesture was not just obscene but also an insult to women's modesty, causing public discomfort and emotional distress. This legal action was submitted to several authorities including the Bengaluru City Police Commissioner and the Karnataka State Women's Commission. The complainant insists the act tarnishes Bengaluru's image as a safe and dignified public environment[4]. Police have taken the matter seriously, collecting CCTV footage from the pub and interviewing staff to verify the events. Deputy Commissioner of Police Hakay Akshay Machhindra confirmed ongoing investigations under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)[2][4]. Public reactions have been mixed, with some fans defending Aryan as caught in a lighthearted moment, while others criticize the behavior as inappropriate for a public figure. This incident raises important questions about celebrity conduct in public spaces and the impact of such actions on society's standards. What do you think about this controversy?
