Influencer Amulya Rattan has finally shared her side of the story after facing heavy trolling over her ‘civic sense’ viral video, sparking fresh discussions about public spaces, content creation, and online behaviour.The controversy began when Rattan was filming in a public area and a man walked into her frame. Clearly annoyed, she paused mid-recording to complain about what she described as a lack of civic sense. In the clip, she said, “Zero sense hai, zero. Someone is filming a video, just go in between. Where is civic sense?” She added that what upset her most was that the man “didn’t even say sorry.”As the clip spread online, Rattan faced harsh criticism, memes, and trolling. Some viewers questioned her expectations in public spaces, while

others resorted to abusive messages.Responding to the backlash, Rattan posted a detailed Instagram video explaining what actually happened. She said, “Hi guys, one of our videos is being circulated on the internet, and I think it’s been taken out of context. So let me give you my side of the story of what exactly happened that day.” She explained that she was filming a simple outfit check and had already moved locations multiple times to avoid disturbing anyone.
