A video showing Shah Rukh Khan’s son flashing the offensive sign at a crowd from a pub balcony has gone viral, prompting public outrage and a police inquiry.
December 5, 2025: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, has landed in the middle of a major controversy after a video of him flashing the middle finger at a crowd in a Bengaluru pub went viral on social media, sparking widespread public outrage.
The incident reportedly occurred on November 28 at a private pub located in the Ashoknagar Police Station limits. The video clip shows Aryan Khan, who was present with prominent political figures’ sons, including Karnataka Minister Zameer Ahmad Khan’s son, Zaid Khan, and MLA NA Haris’s son, Mohammed Nalapad, making the offensive gesture from the pub’s balcony towards the people gathered below.
Social Media Outcry and Police Inquiry
The clip quickly triggered a social media firestorm, with many users directly tagging the Bengaluru Police and demanding immediate action against the celebrity’s son for his alleged public misconduct.
In response to the viral video and public pressure, Cubbon Park Police officers have initiated an inquiry. They reportedly questioned the pub’s manager for nearly an hour and are currently reviewing CCTV footage of the premises. The investigation aims to determine the sequence of events that led to Aryan Khan’s behavior—specifically, whether he reacted suddenly to the sight of the crowd or was provoked by shouting or heckling.
While no official complaint has been filed regarding the alleged misconduct so far, police have stated that if the investigation confirms that he misbehaved publicly, they are prepared to take legal action.
The incident has reignited the debate about the public conduct and accountability of children from privileged celebrity and political families.
