Salman Khan forces boy to hug Jacqueline Fernandez. Internet is appalled

Jacqueline Fernandez have drawn the ire of netizens with a clip from the reality show Dance Deewane shared by the actress on her Instagram account.

In the video, Jacqueline asks to hug a seven-year-old participant, but he says no. "Aise hi. Mann nahi kar raha," the boy says. Salman then laughs, "Abbe, hug karne ka mann nahi kar raha hai? Tu udhar hi ruk."

He brings Jacqueline on stage and asks the boy again, "Ab kar raha hai mann?" Salman then proceeds to push the boy into Jacqueline's outstretched arms.

That is not all. Salman makes the unwilling boy hug Jacqueline a second time. "Ek aur baar hug karo tight sa," he instructs.

Netizens were not amused by the clip, and slammed Salman and Jacqueline for not respecting the child's decision. "A no is a no. Irrespective of age or gender," one user wrote.

"How is this any less disgusting than what papon did. Like please explain how. Shouldn't she also be criticized on national TV. Consent works both ways, forcing a boy is also wrong (sic)," the user wrote.
