Yashvardhan Ahuja, the son of Bollywood actor Govinda, has recently faced criticism on social media. The controversy began when Yashvardhan posted a monochrome picture of himself on Instagram, where he appeared to be smoking a cigarette, though he included a no-smoking sign emoji in the caption.
Despite the disclaimer, many social media users expressed disappointment and concern in the comments. Some urged him not to tarnish his father’s reputation, with comments like “Don’t spoil your father’s honour like this” and “DON’T SMOKE BROTHER.” Others highlighted the health risks of smoking, advising against it for the sake of his well-being.
Yashvardhan Ahuja, who is preparing to enter Bollywood with the film “Aao Twist Karen,” has been under the spotlight due to his lineage. His sister, Narmada ‘Tina’ Ahuja, made her Bollywood debut in 2015 with “Second Hand Husband.” Yashvardhan’s debut film, reportedly to be produced by Govinda, was announced in 2023, but there have been no further updates since.
This incident follows a similar situation involving actress Kriti Sanon, who was speculated to be smoking during a vacation in Greece. A video surfaced on Reddit, allegedly showing Kriti, which led to a range of reactions from netizens. Some were indifferent, while others criticized the invasion of her privacy. Comments ranged from “As long as she doesn’t promote it. It’s whatever,” to concerns about celebrities being filmed without their consent, highlighting the ongoing debate about personal choices versus public scrutiny for public figures.
Both incidents underscore the challenges celebrities face with public expectations and privacy, especially in the age of social media where personal actions are often subjected to public scrutiny.
