 Shaurya is seen in the video holding the man's hand while asking him to apologise to his girlfriend. "Say sorry to her," the actor said to the man. The man retorted that she was his girlfriend.

Shaurya instructed the man to apologise to the woman. Additionally, onlookers could be seen urging the man to apologise.

In the video's comments section, which was posted on Twitter, several people praised Shaurya's action. After watching the video, one user commented that he now has a lot of respect for the actor.
