I refrained from uploading a reel today because the last one I uploaded included a moment in which I was seen drinking beer in Khankal. Sincerely, I had no idea that the location is in a dry zone. I acknowledge that I made a mistake, but that reel is becoming extremely popular on social media, he posted in Hindi on his Instagram story. I realize that I did something wrong and should not have done this, the influencer continued. I sincerely apologize to anybody watched the video and for whatever unintentional incident that may have occurred.
