Viral Video: Online fury and calls for action have been sparked by a viral video showing a bearded old man in a skull cap smacking the backsides of women repeatedly at a busy railway station. The short clip, which went viral on social media Thursday, shows the man approaching several female commuters, tapping them while clicking his fingers on a small device, sparking concern from onlookers.

Bystanders rush in, video posted online

The footage, shot on a platform at a major city railway station, seems to show station staff and passengers reacting in shock as some women confront the man and tell him to stop. In the video, one woman is seen turning and pushing him away while another calls for help. Some bystanders tried to hold him back until security staff arrived. The man looks uninjured but bewildered in the clip.

Probe launched by authorities

Railway authorities said in a brief statement that they had opened an inquiry to find out the exact time and place of the incident and were working with local police. “The safety and dignity of passengers is a priority, and strict action would be taken if the suspect is identified,” the statement said. Multiple tips poured in as soon as the clip surfaced, with local police confirming officers were reviewing footage from station cameras and witness statements.

Calls for safety improvements and legal action

Viral Video: Social media users condemned the behaviour as invasive and a form of harassment. Hashtags calling for arrests and increased safety at transit hubs trended regionally within hours of the video being posted. A number of local activists and women’s rights groups called for the immediate lodging of complaints, a quick response from the police and better CCTV coverage and patrolling at stations. Legal experts said the alleged acts could be brought under clauses on sexual harassment and outraging modesty, and called on victims to file formal complaints.

Chand Mera Dil Review: Chand Mera Dil finally released in theatres on May 22, 2026 after months of promotions and speculation. Despite being backed by Dharma Productions and featuring Ananya Panday and Lakshya in lead roles, the romantic drama had surprisingly low buzz online and limited pre-release hype.

However, film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared a positive review and called the movie IMPACTFUL. As soon as his post went live, many internet users questioned its authenticity and accused the review of being “paid.”

What Taran Adarsh Said In His Chand Mera Dil Review

Taran Adarsh gave Chand Mera Dil a rating of 3.5 stars and described it as an emotional romantic entertainer with several strong moments. According to the critic, the film initially appears like a regular love story but later surprises audiences with emotional twists and deeper storytelling. He praised director Vivek Soni for balancing warmth, tension, and emotional drama throughout the film.

Taran especially highlighted a restaurant sequence in the second half, calling it one of the movie’s standout moments. At the same time, he also mentioned that parts of the second half feel stretched before the climax regains momentum.

The review also praised the performances of the lead actors. Taran said Lakshya delivers a surprising emotional performance that shows a completely different side after his action image from Kill.

He also appreciated Ananya Panday and said she continues to improve with every film. He described her performance as mature and restrained.

The critic further praised the music, dialogue and emotional writing of the film. In his final verdict, he said the movie could connect strongly with young audiences and families.

Netizens React, Call His Chand Mera Dil Review “Paid”

Soon after the review went viral online, social media users began reacting strongly to it.

One user wrote, “Corporate bookings and fake collections will be reported from tomorrow by Dharma production.”

Another commented, “I so knew KJO is gonna pay you.”

A third user posted, “Lol. Increased the rating from 2.5 to 3.5 in few hours.”

One more user simply wrote, “Paid review.”

About The Film

Suhana Khan has become the center of a fresh social media debate after her endorsement deal with Adidas India started trending online. The young actress, who is one of the faces of Adidas Originals, has been leading several campaigns for the sportswear brand. However, many internet users are now questioning whether she earned the opportunity on merit or due to her Bollywood background.

The discussion picked up after a Reddit post compared Suhana’s association with Adidas to actor Ranveer Singh, who has built a long-standing image in the entertainment industry. Several users argued that Suhana has not yet had a theatrical release as a lead actress, making the endorsement feel “unearned” to some sections of the internet.

Suhana Khan Criticised For Adidas Endorsement

According to discussions online, many users questioned how Suhana Khan secured such a major brand partnership despite having limited acting work so far.

A Reddit user wrote, “How is Suhana endorsing the same brand as Ranveer? I was just on the Adidas India IG page, looking at Ranveer’s new campaign….and I noticed that Suhana Khan is a brand endorser too?”

The user further added, “This is exactly why people get frustrated with the industry fast-tracking star kids and getting opportunities that they don’t deserve.”

One user commented, “Suhana hasn’t worked in 3 years since the Archies! That is a privilege.”

Another wrote, “While I do agree with how Ranveer got there. It is unfair to compare him with Suhana. Some people are just born with privileges and we can’t do anything about it sadly.”

A third user posted, “Daddy’s money, Daddy’s contacts. But too bad Daddy’s money won’t buy aura or talent.”

One more user quipped, “Baap sharukh ho to kya kuch nai hosakta.”

Another Redditor commented, “She got this opportunity because she is Shah Rukh’s daughter.”

Suhana Khan made her acting debut with The Archies, directed by Zoya Akhtar. In the film, she played Veronica Lodge.

PM Modi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emphasised economic reforms, deregulation, and reduced government interference during a cabinet meeting, aiming to accelerate India’s journey towards becoming a developed nation under the “Viksit Bharat” vision.

Economic Reforms Take Centre Stage

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reportedly pushed for faster economic reforms during a recent cabinet meeting, stressing the need to simplify rules, encourage investment, and improve ease of doing business across India. The focus remains on creating a stronger economic foundation to support the vision of a developed India, or “Viksit Bharat,” by 2047.

Push for Deregulation and Faster Decision-Making

The government is believed to be encouraging ministries to reduce unnecessary regulations and speed up approvals in various sectors. By cutting bureaucratic hurdles and promoting transparent governance, the Centre aims to attract both domestic and foreign investors while boosting confidence among businesses and startups.

Limiting Government Interference in Daily Life

A major point discussed during the meeting was reducing excessive government interference in citizens’ everyday lives. The broader idea is to create a governance system where people and businesses can operate more freely, with fewer restrictions and smoother access to services. 

Focus on Employment and Manufacturing Growth
