Video doesn’t sit well with netizens

The incident sparked a wave of reactions among netizens on the viral video. One user stated, “Airport screening rules are for everyone…Being famous doesn’t mean bypassing rules. In fact, setting the right example is part of their responsibility.” Another user stated, “The security should get a pay hike immediately.’’ Another stated, “The security should get a pay hike immediately.’’ Some even took a harsher stand, posting, “Arrest him again,’’ while few agreed, “Yep, rules shouldn’t be twisted for anyone.”

Some fans also defended the actor, suggesting that his hesitation may be because of fatigue or rushing through the schedule. They noted that celebrities usually cover their face in order to avoid attention from the public and for photo requests.
