A user wrote in the comments section, “I wonder why there isn’t any hastag trending against Aamna Ilyas after she hits and humilates a poor male crew member ? If a male actor done the same everyone would be condemning to the core but yeah it is ok even funny for these celebs and femists to insult and humilate and harass a male . No one is condemning her act even Celebs like Aiman Khan with huge following enjoying such disrespectful act and laughing on it such a shame!!”

Another wrote “I see no one talking abt it, consider a man doing the same shit with women?? We don’t stand for equality indeed.”
