Netizens, both fans, and critics alike took to Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms to voice their opinions on the matter. While some viewers expressed disappointment and concern about Khan’s choice to smoke on television, others came to his defense, highlighting that smoking is a personal choice and that it is not uncommon for celebrities to smoke in their personal lives. One user wrote, “What a hypocrite, lecturing contestants about culture while doing all the wrong things himself.” Some also joked about how the editor’s job is at risk as he forgot to cut the clips before airing them.
