Speaking to Republic TV,

Soni said, “This looks like a very innocuous thing—so what if he does that? But if you dig deeper, it is wrong on so many levels. It’s wrong in the sense that you are committing a crime—you are drinking where you are not supposed to.”
He further condemned the act, saying, “You are being insensitive by drinking in a place like Vaishno Devi, where people literally walk on all fours for miles to reach the temple. It is incredibly irresponsible, and you are gloating about it as if you have done something good. And then you call yourself an influencer?”

Samir also expressed concern about the negative influence on the younger generation, including his 12-year-old daughter,
Ahana Soni
. He added, “As a generation, we have failed. We have failed to stop such people and tell them that it is not cool to use abusive language or crack these kinds of jokes.”
