Aryan Khan Video Goes Viral After Middle Finger Gesture, Internet Reacts
Aryan Khan , who recently made headlines with his directorial debut Ba***ds of Bollywood, is back in the spotlight once again, but this time for reasons that are not entirely pleasant. A new video has gone viral across social media in which Aryan is seen greeting the media and fans from the balcony of a restaurant. During this moment, Shah Rukh Khan’s son briefly lifted his middle fingers, and that small gesture has now become the centre of discussion everywhere.
In the viral clip, Aryan appears with Kannada actor Zaid Khan, son of Karnataka minister BZ Zameer Ahmed Khan, along with actor Dhanya Ramkumar. They were present at the venue for a promotional event related to his brand D’yavol. Aryan stepped onto the balcony to wave at the media and interact with the crowd. In what seemed like a moment of youthful excitement, he flashed his middle fingers before shifting to a friendly wave and smile. Within hours, the video spread quickly online, and criticism began pouring in from all sides.
The reactions on X (formerly Twitter) have been especially intense. Many users have called his actions careless and irresponsible, questioning why a public figure would behave this way during a promotional outing. One user wrote, "Aryan Khan flashing the middle finger is akin to the elite flashing the middle finger to the common people. That’s the rule in India, not an exception."
While the criticism grew, Aryan’s fans chose to focus on something entirely different. Instead of debating whether he was being playful or rebellious, fans highlighted the rare sight of him smiling. Aryan is often joked about for his serious expression, something even referenced in his own show. So when the clip captured him smiling after the gesture, social media was filled with comments like, "Who says he doesn't smile?" and "Finally, he smiled."
