Controversy Erupts: Boney Kapoor Accused of Inappropriate Behavior With Priyamani
Netizens allege Kapoor's behavior was inappropriate and left Priyamani visibly uncomfortable.
Indian film producer Boney Kapoor, father of actress Janhvi Kapoor, finds himself in hot water after a video clip from a recent movie screening went viral. The footage captures Kapoor interacting with actress Priyamani at the Mumbai premiere of the film Maidaan. Netizens allege Kapoor's behavior was inappropriate and left Priyamani visibly uncomfortable.
The incident unfolded during pre-screening interactions outside the venue. Priyamani, playing a pivotal role in Maidaan, was present at the event. While Kapoor mingled with guests and posed for pictures with Priyamani, the placement of his hand has sparked outrage.
Many social media users found Kapoor's hand on Priyamani's back and waist to be inappropriate. Harsh criticism followed, with some labeling him a "creep" and drawing comparisons to the disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Commenters further condemned Kapoor's behavior considering he has two young daughters himself.
Some argue that calling out Kapoor's actions might be an exaggeration. They point out that social media can be quick to create controversies, and that judging situations without full context can be misleading.
On the other hand, others believe that sparking conversations about consent and appropriate behavior is crucial. Regardless of intent, if someone feels uncomfortable, it's important to acknowledge those feelings and strive for respectful interactions.
