The video has since gone viral across social media platforms, sparking debate. Several users supported Bala over his outrage; however, a section of users said it was uncalled for.
“Can’t understand why people freak out when artists reciprocate their energy. You’re the ones throwing bottles, stones, and produce on stage,” a user wrote.
“Respect the artist on stage. They’re not just performing they’re giving you their energy, time, and passion. A little respect from the crowd goes a long way. Enjoy the vibe, but don’t cross the line,” another user commented.
“Spitting on your own audience isn’t bold or edgy—it just shows a complete lack of respect and basic decency. People came to support you, not to be treated like that,” a third user reacted.
