A luxurious reception organized by style-conscious educator and YouTube personality Khan Sir in Patna was a sensation of the city not just due to its celebrity guests and royal setting but also due to the surprise social media trolled his wife, AS Khan, for. The soiree was the couple's first appearance in public following their intimate May wedding ceremony, and while the bash itself was garish, it right away attracted online trolling for what was a deeply personal decision — the bride's ghoonghat.

AS Khan, a Bihar government official from Siwan, made a bright entry into the reception wearing a resplendent red lehenga choli with zardozi embroidery. Her finery, complemented by a heavy gold ornament set and impeccable make-up, was the definition of bridal elegance. But what was to be the cause of social media discussion was the choice to sport a long veil which covered half of her face.

Photos and videos taken during the night went viral, as some of the users praised the bride for her modesty and respect for tradition. Others considered the ghoonghat to be backward and fueled a controversy that overshadowed the wedding ceremony itself. While some came to defend AS Khan's right to dress up as she wanted on her wedding day, the trolling revealed the internet's ancient inability to find a balance between liberty for the individual and contemporary expectations.

Khan Sir, whose blunt nature and enormous fans following is a household name, is quiet over the controversy as of now. Earlier, he had gone on record to say that the couple had mutually agreed to tie the knot in a low-key wedding in May during India-Pakistan tensions, reflecting the reverence for their personal triumph.

The welcome, where the presence of the likes of Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan and Tejashwi Yadav was seen, spoke volumes about the reputation of the couple. Trollage of AS Khan's hijab, on the other hand, reminded one of just how easily and quickly public admiration could become polarized and cynical web commentary.

In an era when all of our moments are out there, the wail gives rise to concerns about cultural expression, individual liberty, and increasing intolerance online. AS Khan's hijab was not merely fabric — it was a symbol that found itself ensnared in the battle between tradition and modernity.
