YouTuber Rajab Butt Faces Backlash for ‘Imitating’ Salman Khan’s Eid Balcony Appearance

Lahore: Pakistani YouTuber Rajab Butt has come under heavy criticism on social media after a video of his Eid-ul-Fitr appearance went viral, with users accusing him of copying Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.

In the video, Rajab Butt can be seen standing on his home balcony, waving to fans gathered below—an act widely associated with Salman Khan, who traditionally greets his fans from the balcony of his Mumbai residence every Eid.

Social Media Criticism

As the clip spread across platforms, users were quick to call out what they described as a “blatant imitation.” Some mocked the YouTuber, with one user sarcastically commenting that it did not even resemble a “replica version” of Salman Khan, while others pointed out that the Bollywood star earned his fame through decades of hard work and cannot be compared.

Questions Over Crowd Authenticity

During the debate, several users also questioned whether a large number of fans were genuinely present or if the gathering was staged for the video.

Ongoing Controversies

Rajab Butt has been in the spotlight in recent weeks due to personal matters and controversies, including reports related to his divorce, which have kept him trending online.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan’s tradition of greeting fans from his balcony on Eid remains a long-standing and globally recognized practice, making any similar act subject to immediate comparison.

The incident has once again highlighted how quickly social media reacts to perceived imitation in the entertainment world.
