VIDEO: Aryan Khan Shows Middle Finger In Bengaluru Pub With Friends; Netizens Demand Police Action – REASON

A fresh row has erupted around Aryan Khan after a viral clip from a Bengaluru pub surfaced online. The video shows Aryan, son of Shah Rukh Khan, raising a middle finger while at a private gathering. The clip has triggered social media anger, with many users tagging Bengaluru Police and demanding action.

The incident happened on 28 November at a pub under Ashoknagar Police Station limits, where Aryan was present with friends. Among those seen with Aryan were Nalapad, son of BDA Chairman NA Harris, and Zaid Khan, son of Karnataka Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan. The gathering was described as a private event.

Aryan Khan controversy: viral video, Bengaluru pub and social media backlash

Online users have questioned the silence of Karnataka Police regarding the viral gesture from the Bengaluru pub. Several posts asked whether an FIR would be filed and if the conduct violated any public order laws. Many comments also hinted at Aryan’s celebrity status, wondering if that influenced the lack of visible response.

The new controversy arrives shortly after Aryan emerged from the Narcotics Control Bureau case that started in 2021. That matter kept Aryan in the spotlight for months, followed by court proceedings and intense media focus. With the Bengaluru pub clip spreading quickly, Aryan has again become a major talking point across platforms.

Aryan Khan controversy: Bengaluru pub companions and 2018 assault case history

The presence of Aryan with Nalapad has revived interest in an older assault case from 2018. That case involved businessman L Vidwat, who suffered injuries after an altercation at a Bengaluru café. According to reports, tension began when Vidwat’s fractured leg allegedly brushed against Nalapad’s leg, leading to a violent reaction.

As reported by Indian Express, the chargesheet recorded an abusive exchange attributed to Nalpad during the 2018 clash. It quoted Nalpad telling Vidwat, "I am son of local MLA NA Haris. You are not even equal to my shoe. You say sorry and kiss my feet, bloody a****** (sic)." The remarks were cited as part of the prosecution narrative.

Investigators said the confrontation escalated after those words, with aides of Nalpad allegedly attacking Vidwat. The document stated that Vidwat was then forced to "kiss" Nalpad's feet. The same chargesheet also recorded another alleged threat from Nalpad, quoting, "if you don't say sorry, then I will kill you here only (sic)."

The chargesheet in that 2018 case ran to over 300 pages and contained statements from about 23 eyewitnesses. Court proceedings extended for 115 days before a key decision came. After hearing arguments from both sides, the Karnataka High Court granted bail to Nalpad, allowing release from judicial custody.

For now, there is no official confirmation of any fresh case opened over Aryan’s gesture at the Bengaluru pub. Bengaluru Police have not issued a detailed statement on the viral video, even as public debate continues. The incident keeps Aryan, and those around Aryan, firmly under scrutiny from both social media users and local observers.
