After the clip surfaced, several social media users criticised the gesture. Some commenters reportedly asked why she was laughing, while others described the act as inappropriate. The video has prompted debate online, although reactions do not establish the circumstances leading up to the moment or provide the full context. The available report does not identify when the footage was recorded or who first shared it.
The clip has emerged as the film industry mourns Sanjay Gupta. The filmmaker, known for directing crime dramas and action films, died after sustaining a head injury at his Mumbai residence. His death was reported on Saturday, October 31, and several members of the film fraternity attended his last rites.
According to details attributed to Mumbai Police in the report, Sanjay Gupta fell inside his home late on Friday night at his bungalow in the Versova police station area. He reportedly suffered a head injury and began bleeding. His family and a domestic helper were at home but asleep, and the incident came to light on Saturday morning.
Police said Sanjay Gupta lived with his wife, two children and a domestic helper. The family reportedly did not express suspicion and no complaint had been filed. The available details describe the incident as an accidental fall; official findings should be distinguished from online speculation.
Sanjay Gupta was known for films such as Kaante, Shootout at Lokhandwala, Shootout at Wadala, Kaabil and Mumbai Saga. His last directorial release was The Miranda Brothers in 2024. He was also a producer of Visfot, featuring Fardeen Khan and Riteish Deshmukh.
