Ahmed emphasized that such pranks should not be justified or accepted and that content producers have a duty to consider how their actions may affect their audience. Other users referred to the material as “disgusting” and “shocking.”
This is not an appropriate or acceptable behavior. Domestic violence is a serious issue, and it’s never a laughing matter. #shaveerjafry #SayNoToDomesticViolence https://t.co/WWpVVLI5Pl
