Movie actress Mouni Roy has become caught up in the midst of online debates after a video from an airport has made waves on social media. The footage shows the actress approaching the terminal and attempting to move a security barrier tape instead of entering through what some users identified as the designated access point.
If a passenger had behaved in the same manner, they would have been questioned or otherwise handled by airport officials, they said. Some people on social media question whether airport protocols were followed.
But others warned against drawing conclusions from just a video clip: They added that the full context of the incident is not publicly known and not easy to discern. Airport staff could have been there - or there could have been situations not visible in the viral video.
For now there has been no official statement from Mouni Roy, airport authorities or aviation security agencies on the incident. There has also been no public acknowledgment of any airport security violations and that any action has been initiated.
However, it has reignited a larger debate about celebrity treatment in public places. Some social media users wondered if public figures are getting more favorable treatment than others, while others said the same rules should apply to everyone regardless of their status.
Airport security procedures regulate passenger movement and keep terminal facilities safe. In general airport staff and security staff control the access routes, security barriers and entry points. Any assessment of whether a protocol has been breached for any reason will necessarily be the responsibility of the relevant authorities.
