Actor Eats Khaman at Airport
A video featuring popular Gujarati actor Hitesh Thakkar sitting on the floor and eating khaman at Surat Airport has recently gone viral, igniting a wave of reactions across social media.
While some viewers praised Thakkar’s action as a heartfelt expression of traditional Gujarati culture, others raised concerns about public etiquette and civic sense, arguing that airports should maintain a certain decorum.
Supporters highlighted that enjoying simple, homemade food reflects humility and cultural pride, even in modern public spaces. Critics, however, insisted that dining on the floor in such locations could set a poor example and disrupt the airport environment.
The viral clip has now fueled a larger conversation around balancing cultural expression with public discipline, especially at international travel hubs like Surat Airport.
As discussions continue online, many netizens are calling for clear guidelines on maintaining cleanliness and manners at public venues, while respecting diverse cultural practices.
