Rajjab Butt faces backlash over viral restaurant video
Pakistan’s controversial YouTuber Rajjab Butt has once again come under heavy criticism on social media after a viral video sparked allegations of privacy violation and irresponsible content creation.
The video, reportedly recorded at a restaurant, shows Rajjab Butt filming a vlog while dining. However, social media users pointed out that a family sitting behind him appeared visibly uncomfortable during the recording. In the clip, a woman can be seen turning away and attempting to hide her face from the camera, triggering widespread backlash online.
A large number of users criticized the act as an invasion of privacy, calling for greater responsibility from content creators when filming in public spaces.
The issue escalated further after Punjab Assembly member Hina Pervaiz Butt strongly reacted on social media platform X, condemning the behaviour.
She described such conduct as “shameful,” stating that some individuals record videos anywhere without considering the privacy and dignity of people around them.
She also expressed concern over the growing trend of influencers being idolized despite what she termed irresponsible behaviour in public settings.
The controversy has emerged at a time when Rajjab Butt is already facing scrutiny over various legal and personal matters. His private life has remained in the public spotlight, particularly after his marriage to Eman Fatima in 2024 and subsequent separation in 2026.
The couple, who have a son named Kiwan Sultan (born September 2025), reportedly finalized their divorce earlier this year, which Rajjab Butt confirmed in a podcast appearance in March 2026.
The latest incident has reignited debate over influencer ethics, public privacy boundaries, and digital responsibility, with critics stressing that fame comes with social accountability.
