“No one likes to get touched or kissed without their consent that’s basic manners ..calling them on the stage to lift and kiss them when you know that the other person has no choice but to just go with the flow…boundaries yaaar," writes a user. Another commented, “This needs to be scripted or else it's f***ing weird. This man needs to stop lifting people like this and kissing.” Many wondered if Gigi was annoyed at the incident. “She will never come to India after this,” one comment read.
