Responding in the comments section of the viral video, Murad explained that the scene was filmed in Chhatarpur, Delhi, a few days ago as part of a movie. He emphasized that it was his character’s birthday being celebrated in the clip, not his actual birthday, which falls in November. In Hindi, he wrote, “Please don’t think that there was a birthday party or celebrations of some sort going on. The viral footage is from a film scene, shot in Chhatarpur Delhi, a few days ago. In those scenes, my character’s birthday is being celebrated.”
He further added, “Without knowing the incident, you assume that a party was going on. My birthday is in November. It’s March. You people assume I am drinking alcohol in public during Ramzan, which is absolutely wrong.”
The video was originally shared on Instagram by actor Kiran Kumar, who was also present in the clip. His caption read, “Dost jitne purane, yaari utni hi solid (The older the friendship, the stronger it is)! Sometimes when you’re working with friends, Reel aur Real ke beech ka antar hatt jaata hai (the difference between reel and real is often blurred).”
