Puneet Superstar Vs Pradeep Dhaka – scripted or real, ask netizens

While most were against Puneet for his actions, quite a few netizens speculated that the video looked ‘scripted’. Some might think that getting slapped for a publicity stunt would not be an option for most people. But, an influencer known for ‘disgusting’ content like eating cow dung or bathing in a drain, would not draw the line at a slap for the sake of views, if it were faked. However, it is not just Puneet Superstar who bore the brunt of negative comments. Pradeep Dhaka’s Instagram comment section has been filled with netizens calling the influencer ‘spineless’ for ganging up on Puneet.

Netizens opined that the dramatics displayed in the video from the argument to the eventual slap, seemed to be exaggerated and looked staged. It is still unclear whether the fallout between the influencers was genuine or a calculated publicity stunt.
