The controversy stemmed from a video posted by Aaryan, featuring Parija dancing at a college fest. However, Aaryan’s caption likened the cultural event to a ‘kotha’ (brothel), sparking outrage from Parija and others.

Parija, in her response, clarified that she was not a student at the college but a professional performer who was invited to judge the event. She pleaded with Aaryan to remove the video, stating that it was reposted without her consent and was damaging her reputation.

Aaryan defends himself from the controversy:

Aaryan defended his post, claiming that he was criticizing the state of cultural events in Indian schools and colleges, not targeting Parija specifically. Despite Parija’s pleas, Aaryan refused to take down the video, prompting her to seek assistance from Mumbai Police.

Parija tagged Mumbai Police in her post, detailing her efforts to have the video removed and alleging blackmail from Aaryan. In response, the police requested her contact details to address the matter.

As a result of a copyright claim, the media in Aaryan’s post has been disabled, although the video may still be accessible in some areas. The incident underscores the importance of respecting individuals’ consent and the consequences of derogatory comments on social media platforms.
