December 4, 2025

Bengaluru: A video of actor-director Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, allegedly showing his middle finger inside a Bengaluru pub has gone viral. The clip shows Aryan entering the venue with Kannada actor Zaid Khan, Minister Zameer Ahmad Khan’s son, and Mohammad Nalpad, son of Congress MLA N.A. Haris. After waving to the crowd, he is briefly seen making the objectionable gesture, triggering widespread debate online.

The incident reportedly took place on November 28 at a pub under Ashoknagar police limits. Despite a dedicated cyber-monitoring unit, Bengaluru Police has not acted on the viral video. Officers usually trace and respond to such incidents involving regular citizens, but no official statement has been issued yet.
