YouTuber Irfan has once again sparked outrage, this time for his conduct during a Ramzan charity drive in Chennai. A video posted on his channel shows Irrfan and his wife distributing food and supplies from their car, where he was seen angrily scolding recipients for “grabbing” items. The clip has drawn severe criticism from netizens and public figures alike.
The Controversy
In the now-viral video, Irrfan and his wife hand out aid packets while seated inside their car. When some recipients reached in to collect the items, Irrfan shouted, “Don’t do this to me! Don’t hold me back! We came to give you something—why are you grabbing?“ He later claimed that some individuals touched his wife’s hands, prompting him to react defensively.
Basically, Irfan doesn’t know how to handle fame. Guy has been in the wrong books for a while . He doesn’t know what is wrong and what is right. Even if such words came out at the spur of the moment , could’ve edited it out . He didn’t expect this backlash pic.twitter.com/Gf3CGvRuOx

The video triggered widespread condemnation, with many accusing Irrfan of performative charity and elitism. Critics argued that if he genuinely wanted to help, he should have distributed supplies respectfully instead of filming the act for clout.
Social media users have lambasted Irrfan for his “privileged and degrading“ approach to charity. Memes and critical posts have flooded platforms.
He does not know what is wrong or right!!! What is he? Kindergarten kid? Why such soft dealing when it comes to Irfan? https://t.co/Nv3nasaoWg

Irfan’s History Of Controversies
Mohamed Irfan’s car was involved in a tragic incident that resulted in the death of a 55-year-old woman who was crossing the road near Potheri in Chennai. While there were unconfirmed reports suggesting that Irfan was driving the car, authorities arrested 34-year-old Mohammed Azarudheen from Sithalapakam for the incident. The arrest was notably delayed, and the investigation began only later.
It is noteworthy that Irfan had previously faced controversy after disclosing the sex of his unborn child, following a prenatal test conducted abroad. Revealing the sex of a fetus is a violation of the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act.
Irfan also faced scrutiny for disclosing the sex of his unborn child following a prenatal test conducted abroad, which violated the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act. When this issue gained attention, Tamil Nadu Health Minister Ma. Subramanian stated that they had sought an explanation and issued a show cause notice, while consulting experts about the applicability of the law in this context. Experts contend that Indian laws can apply to citizens regardless of their location. Despite the serious nature of the violation, it took the DMK several months to respond.
It is noteworthy that Irfan shares a close relationship with the DMK scion. He did a public relations video with DMK scion and Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin in November 2022. In the video Irfan asks Udhayanidhi Stalin “You’ve become my friend now right? You’re my friend right? Give your hand bro. (shakes hand). From now on, we’re friends. Like in the film OKOK (Oru Kal Oru Kannadi starring Udhayanidhi Stalin), if I get caught by police and call you, will you help me?”
