LAHORE: Actor and model Amna Ilyas has found herself in hot waters after posting a video of herself ‘accidentally’ kicking a man in the head while attempt to do a popular internet challenge.
In the latest clip shared on her Instagram, the Ready Steady No actor aims to kick an apple on a man’s head as she misses the mark completely, resulting in a blow to his face. She captioned as, “Bullseye.”
Amna added how ‘no one was hurt during the video and don’t try this at home’. The popular Internet challenge requires a person to hit an object lying on top of a person’s head or surface with one swift kick of the leg.

Soon after the video went viral, many called out the actor for ‘humiliating’ the other person in the clip. “It does look like he got hit quite a bit,” a user commented underneath Ilyas’ video, adding, “That’s not cool.”
A user commented, “Disclaimer, nobody was hurt during this video? Try having someone do a roundhouse with sneakers right on your face and I’ll ask you who was hurt or not.” Another wrote, “This isn’t even funny. You’re a public figure and people look up to you, what are you trying to show your audience? That you should do these disrespectful acts and make it look like it’s funny? If we swap the gender here, I’m sure you’ll be the first one raising your voice at this.”
Artist Leena Ghani also commented on the video, saying, “This is not funny. This is abusive, unethical and disrespectful.”
Other users also highlighted the reaction of celebrities, such as actor Aiman Khan who posted a comment indicating she was laughing at the video.
“Wow I saw celebrities laughing and [posting] laugh emojis in comments on this kind of video. Would you have laughed if this had happened to you?” a user angrily commented.
One more shared, “Let’s reverse the gender here. Not going to be too funny, right?” While another user commented, It does look like he got hit quite a bit and that’s not cool.”
