Punjabi singer Karan Aujla found himself at the centre of online chatter after briefly reposting a viral reel that criticised Kiara Advani over her alleged behaviour during a commercial flight. Though the repost was taken down quickly, screenshots spread rapidly across social media, triggering speculation and mixed reactions from fans and netizens.
The reel in question was originally shared by a passenger who claimed to have been on a domestic flight with Kiara Advani and Kartik Aaryan. According to the account, a brief seat mix-up occurred when the passenger’s mother mistakenly occupied Advani’s seat. While the issue was reportedly resolved by cabin crew within moments, the passenger alleged that Advani appeared visibly displeased once the situation was clarified.
The video went on to describe the actors’ overall demeanour during the flight, including claims that they did not engage much with fellow passengers or airline staff. The uploader also stated that, after landing, the actors declined a request for a photograph from an air hostess, citing time constraints. These claims, however, remain unverified and are based solely on the passenger’s account.

What escalated the situation was Karan Aujla’s fleeting repost of the reel on his Instagram story. Although the singer did not add any caption or commentary, the action was enough to amplify the clip’s reach and spark debate online. Many users questioned whether the repost was intentional or accidental, especially given how easily Instagram’s repost and share features can be triggered.
Social media reactions were divided. Some users criticised Kiara Advani based on the video’s claims, while others came to her defence, pointing out that celebrities are often judged harshly based on one-sided narratives. A section of fans also urged caution, highlighting that brief public encounters, especially in travel settings, can easily be misinterpreted.
Meanwhile, Karan Aujla’s involvement became a talking point in itself. Some netizens joked about the singer “stirring the pot,” while others suggested the repost may have been removed once its implications became clear. As of now, neither Aujla nor Advani has issued an official statement addressing the incident or the viral reel.
The episode once again underscores how quickly celebrity-related content can spiral online. A single repost, intentional or otherwise, can reignite scrutiny, fuel speculation, and dominate entertainment conversations within hours. Until any of the parties involved clarify their stance, the incident remains a reminder of the power and unpredictability of social media in shaping celebrity narratives.
