Another user wrote, "Zero respect, zero boundaries, and zero sense. Bangalore is supposed to have some of the most mature crowds, but moments like this make it look like nobody knows how to behave anymore." “That's not just zero civic sense – that's straight up harassment. Excitement is one thing, but yanking an artist's pants? Come on, Bengaluru, do better. Akon deserves respect on stage,” wrote the third user. Before Bengaluru, Delhi had also faced backlash in regard to Akon's concert.
