Actor and model Amna Ilyas has recently faced the ire of netizens after posting a video of herself ‘accidentally’ kicking a man in the head while attempt to do a popular internet challenge that involves the subject kicking something (usually a bottle) off a surface.
Many netizens around the world have tried their luck at the challenge, posting videos of their successful attempts on social media. The challenge requires a person to hit an object lying on top of a person’s head or surface with one swift kick of the leg. Ilyas attempted the challenge as well but the actor did not hit her mark. She ended up kicking the person’s head with disturbing ferocity.
Ilyas proceeded to share the video of the kick on social media in an attempt to be funny. “Bullseye,” she captioned the video. “Disclaimer: nobody was hurt in the making of this video and don’t try this at home.”
Netizens found the video anything but humorous though. The actor’s comment section was flooded with users calling her out for an act that could have seriously injured a man. “It does look like he got hit quite a bit,” a user commented underneath Ilyas’ video. “That’s not cool.”
Other users also highlighted the reaction of celebrities, such as actors Aiman Khan who posted a comment indicating she was laughing at the video.
Netizens on Twitter also highlighted the insensitive response shown by celebrities to the video. “Actor Amna Ilyas uploaded a video kicking a guy in the head and wrote a disclaimer that nobody was hurt in the video despite literally kicking a person. Celebrities had a good laugh on it in the comments section,” a user tweeted..
