Sourav Joshi video sparks harassment debate after group approaches family

A video of YouTuber Sourav Joshi and his wife Avantika during a family boating trip has divided social media. The clip shows a group of boys approaching them and greeting the family. Avantika turns away and does not respond, which some viewers have called a sign of discomfort and harassment, while others argue it was a friendly greeting to a public figure.

News outlet ABP Live reports that the group first spoke to Joshi's younger brother Kunal, then addressed Avantika with 'Sat Sri Akal' and asked about Sourav. Joshi responded warmly. Online reactions are split: one user called it 'shameful' while another said 'since when did greeting someone become harassment?' A post accompanying the video alleged harassment and identified the group as Sikh, drawing criticism for labelling by religion.
