A social media moment that was meant to showcase creativity and celebration has landed Bigg Boss Kannada-fame personalities Niveditha Gowda and Kishan Bilagali in the middle of a controversy.

The duo recently grabbed attention after a dance video featuring peacock-themed costumes went viral. While many viewers initially appreciated the visuals and performance, the conversation soon shifted after questions were raised about the use of peacock feathers in the outfits.

The matter gained attention after concerns were expressed over whether the feathers used in the video were genuine. Since the Indian peacock is a protected bird, the issue led to scrutiny and a complaint seeking further investigation.

Reacting to the controversy, Niveditha Gowda clarified that they were unaware of any legal concerns surrounding the feathers and expressed regret over the situation. She also said that they would cooperate with the authorities if required.

Kishan Bilagali too addressed the issue through an apology video, stating that there was no intention to disrespect wildlife or break any rules. He added that as a public figure, he understands the importance of being careful about the content shared online.

The incident has once again brought attention to the responsibilities that come with social media visibility. In an era where a single reel can reach millions within hours, celebrities and influencers often find themselves navigating the fine line between creative expression and awareness.

For Niveditha and Kishan, what began as a performance video has turned into a reminder that every trend comes with a responsibility — both online and beyond.
