Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal has come under criticism after a video of him went viral on social media. The incident has triggered strong reactions from the public.
In the video, Yuzvendra Chahal is seen sitting in the front seat of a car and smoking a cigarette. He then throws the cigarette out of the window onto the road.
While smoking is a personal choice, many people have objected to the act of littering in public. The incident has raised concerns about responsibility and civic sense.
As a public figure, Yuzvendra Chahal is expected to set a positive example. Actions like this can influence fans and younger audiences.
Celebrity behaviour often impacts public habits in India. When such acts are seen without accountability, it may encourage others to repeat them.
Some fans have defended Yuzvendra Chahal, questioning where a person should dispose of a cigarette while inside a car. This reaction has further added to the debate.
However, many believe that proper disposal and responsible behaviour are basic expectations. Littering in public spaces is widely seen as unacceptable.
There are calls for Yuzvendra Chahal to acknowledge the mistake and promote better awareness. This could help send a responsible message to the public.
The incident also highlights the role of authorities in enforcing rules. It shows that accountability should apply equally, regardless of status.
Yuzvendra Chahal was seen throwing a lit cigarette while driving in Chandigarh. He also looked a little drunk.
But the serious question is — is it allowed to throw a burning cigarette on the road when traffic is moving? pic.twitter.com/RHff3k6PtB
