- Kareena Kapoor was seen skipping the queue at Mumbai Airport security check in a viral video
- The video sparked debate on social media about VIP culture and celebrity preferential treatment
- Others suggested she likely used a paid VIP service for expedited airport security clearance
A recent viral video of Kareena Kapoor at the airport has left the internet divided over VIP culture and preferential treatment. In the clip, Kareena Kapoor can be seen at the Mumbai Airport entrance security check, skipping a long queue of passengers to reach the security gate and swiftly enter the airport. A post expressing disappointment over the alleged celebrity treatment went viral on X, clocking 1.4 million views and triggering mixed reactions.
In the post, the X user said, "Kareena Kapoor broke the line at the airport and straight away moved to the gate. Why do celebrities get to do that? Who gave them this entitlement? Other people who are waiting at the airport also have urgent flights to catch. It's not fair to everyone."
Agreeing with the post, some expressed disappointment over the alleged preferential treatment. Take a look:
"Disgusting... She's not superior to anyone else," one wrote.
Another said, "This is our system. The government official on duty should have stopped her... but these celebrities have ego, and we, the common people, are the ones who have made them celebrities."
One questioned, "Wonder why the people in the queue were quiet. Would they allow anyone else to jump the line?"
However, many X users noted that Kareena could have been using a paid VIP service for expedited security clearance. One wrote, "There is a paid service where you too can pay Rs 6,000 to do what Kareena did. And probably she too paid for this express service."
Reacting to the viral backlash, an X user remarked, "VIP culture never bothers anyone when it's politicians or cricketers, or when an entire city airport is declared a 'private airport' for a businessman's wedding - but the moment a successful woman gets the same privilege, fragile Indian male egos suddenly remember 'equality' and 'entitlement'."
Arguing in favour of such treatment, another user said, "Some people have no idea how to stand in a queue in India; hence, some can't even stand there. India needs to learn etiquette at a global level to behave and show sanity. Only then will celebrities be open to sharing spaces with them."
