In the video now all over social media, Lakshay Jaggi is seen walking onto the stage to receive his award. Rakul Preet Singh hands over the trophy, but he takes it and walks ahead without looking at her or interacting. This brief moment caught everyone’s attention, and many people felt he had deliberately ignored the actress.
Soon after the video spread, people started reacting. Some users called his behavior rude, while others said it looked disrespectful. A few even questioned if something had happened between them before the event. The clip kept getting shared, and the discussion kept growing.
Seeing the reaction, Lakshay Jaggi decided to speak up and explain what really happened from his side. He shared a video on his social media and addressed the issue directly.
In his explanation, Lakshay said that things were not as simple as they looked in the viral clip. He said that just before his turn, another woman had gone on stage to receive an award. According to him, that woman extended her hand for a handshake, but Rakul Preet Singh did not respond.
Lakshay said this moment stayed with him. So when his turn came, he followed what he felt was happening on stage. He went up, took the award, and moved ahead without a handshake. He also mentioned that he said something like, “If there is no handshake, then just take the award and go.”
He clearly said that he did not go on stage to insult anyone. It was just his reaction at that moment based on what he had seen. He also added that he did not expect people to take it negatively or think he was being disrespectful.
Lakshay sounded surprised in his video and said he had no idea that such a small action would turn into such a big issue. He also said that he did not think the other person would feel bad about it.
After his clarification, reactions online are still mixed. Some people are supporting him and saying that he at least explained his side honestly. Others still feel that, no matter what happened earlier, he could have handled the situation more politely.
On the other hand, Rakul Preet Singh has not reacted to the viral video or Lakshay’s explanation yet. She has remained silent on the matter, and there has been no official comment from her.
