Influencer Scolds Man For Walking Past Her Fit-Check Reel, She Says 'No Civic Sense'; Gets Trolled Online

What was meant to be a casual social media recording has turned into an online flashpoint about public behaviour and influencer entitlement.A brief Snapchat video shared by influencer Amulya Rattan has spread rapidly after she appeared upset at a man who walked behind her while she was filming in a public area. Her visible irritation, especially her insistence that the passerby should have apologised, triggered widespread pushback across social media platforms.Amulya, who boasts a following of more than 4.6 million, is seen stopping mid-video to criticise what she calls a lack of “civic sense” as the man passes through the frame. She later adds that the most upsetting part was that he “didn’t even say sorry,” a comment that many viewers felt

intensified the situation rather than justified it.

Instead of drawing sympathy, the clip prompted sharp criticism. Numerous users pointed out that the setting was a shared public space where people are not obligated to alter their movement for someone recording content. Many also noted that the man neither engaged with Amulya nor seemed aware that he was being filmed, making the expectation of an apology appear unreasonable.Much of the online debate focused on what critics see as a growing tendency among influencers to treat public spaces like private filming zones. Commenters argued that interruptions, whether from pedestrians, vehicles, or ambient noise, are inevitable in open areas, and managing them is the creator’s responsibility. Others challenged the use of the term “civic sense,” saying that simply walking through a public space does not amount to improper behaviour.The viral clip has since reignited broader discussions around influencer conduct, consent in public filming, and personal boundaries. While relatability often drives online popularity, many felt the episode highlighted how quickly everyday inconvenience can be framed as entitlement once a camera is involved.
