A recent video of Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif at an airport has sparked outrage among netizens. The video shows Kaif going through airport security without removing her mask, leading to accusations of preferential treatment and disregard for security protocols.
The video, which has gone viral on social media platforms, shows Kaif dressed in black flared pants, a shirt, sunglasses and a mask. As she approaches the security checkpoint, she interacts with the security personnel without removing her mask or sunglasses. After a brief exchange, she proceeds into the airport.
The resurfaced video has triggered a wave of angry reactions from internet users, with many questioning why Kaif was seemingly exempt from standard security procedures. Many people are pointing out that such behavior would not be tolerated in other countries like the US or Europe, where security personnel are stricter about enforcing rules.
Users have expressed their disappointment and anger, with comments like "Celebs are above rules?" and "Rules are only for ordinary citizens?". Some have also criticized the security personnel for not insisting on the mask removal, suggesting that they were starstruck or intimidated by Kaif's celebrity status. One user wrote, "Policeman was easy on her. Should have told her again that if she doesn't remove mask he will have to call lady constable or inform his supervisor.” Another user said, "I am surprised the guard didn't even say anything back... They make such a huge fuss with us regular folks and take their own sweet time to check every feature of our face. I really hope this clip goes viral and these celebs get exposed for getting scott free with these things."
This incident has reignited the debate about the special treatment often accorded to celebrities in India. Many feel that public figures should be held to the same standards as everyone else, especially when it comes to security regulations. The incident has led to discussions on whether celebrities should be allowed to bypass standard security protocols. Some argue that such exemptions could pose a security risk, while others believe that they are a minor inconvenience that comes with fame.
The incident also highlights the power of social media in holding public figures accountable. The video's rapid spread and the ensuing backlash demonstrate how quickly public opinion can turn against celebrities who are perceived to be abusing their status.
While some fans have come to Kaif's defense, suggesting that there might have been a valid reason for her not removing the mask, the overwhelming sentiment online remains critical. The controversy serves as a reminder that celebrities are not above the law and that they should be mindful of the example they set for their fans. It remains to be seen whether Kaif will address the controversy or offer an explanation for her actions.
