In the video, Babar could be heard asking Azam, “Abba, kya hua hai? Garmi hai? (What happened? Is it hot?)”.
Khan then says, “Bahot zyada garmi hai (it’s too hot)”, and then is seen wiping his sweat with British currency notes. Babar, among others, was heard laughing. The video has been branded ‘shameless’ by many on social media.
