A family in Bengaluru was harassed and forced to stand up for the national anthem inside a movie hall on Wednesday, October 23.
Among the group, who bullied the family, were Kannada actors BV Aishwarya and Arun Gowda.
Watch the video here.
Who the hell are these goons to intimidate and threaten those who do not follow their dictate on nationalism?

Apparently, BV Aishwarya also posted the video on her Facebook page but deleted it later. By then, her post was already shared by a lot of users.
Of course, Twitter users engaged in a fierce debate about the whole issue, which went viral due to the video that was shot inside the theater.
Who so ever in this video abusing n shouting should be identified n shamed. These worms are the real enemy of the nation. Look at the arrogance they show. Scoundrels.

We should boycott @INOXMovies if they keep playing National Anthem in theatres. We need to resist this corporate politico nexus to discriminate Indians.

These goons should be in jail rather than bullying people. Where were the hall ushers and security? Hope someone filed an FIR against these hooligans.

Why people are so much obsessed about nationalism? If not standing of a national anthem does gives one a certificate of Pakistani where were these goons before why suddenly there is so much of patriotism now. And they act as if those goons had paid for their seats. Ridiculous🌚

I would like to stand up for national anthem, But this is irrational, to force to play national anthem in theatres, and make people to stand. The order should be withdrawn.

Despite the Supreme Court passing a clear order, people have been confused for a long time and the same dilemma led to this incident taking place in Bengaluru.
