The clip that sparked online debate

The video shows the elderly man involved in the puja, complete with a traditional thali and a channi, looking at a photo of Mia Khalifa posted on the wall. While some viewers found humor in the unusual tribute, others expressed disapproval, seeing it as a misguided attempt to attract attention.

The comments on the video reflect this polarization. One user lamented: “Sadly, these beautiful celebrations have been reduced to indulgent displays, driven by the desire for mere attention and views.” Another commenter speculated that the elderly man’s actions were simply motivated by the influence of his grandchildren, stating: “Nothing, just the grandchildren made them do this just for some likes and engagement.” In stark contrast, some viewers embraced the light-heartedness of the situation, with one user simply stating: “This is funny,” while another added: “This made me laugh so hard hahaha funny.” However, not everyone was amused, as another commenter noted: “This is scary.”

This is not the first time that Mia Khalifa’s image has sparked controversy in India. In August, a panel with her image appeared in Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu, as part of the decoration for the Aadi festival, when temples worship the Goddess Amman (Parvati).

This panel, which included images of local deities alongside those of Khalifa, shocked viewers and led police to remove it after it went viral.
