Ranbir Kapoor and Pakistani actress Mahira Khan are breaking the Internet with their "smoke-break" on the streets of New York City.
In the pictures that went viral recently, the tired-seeming duo is seen smoking together. The 'Raees' actress was wearing a backless white dress, while Ranbir sported a simple T-shirt.
While many netizens were quick to comment on their rumoured romance, some took to the social media to 'smoke-shame' and 'slut-shame' the 32-year-old actress.
One twitter user wrote, "If ranbir and mahira are actually dating that'll be the first interesting bollywood gossip of 2017," while another said, "Ranbir and Mahira dating would be the biggest plot twist. You ban our actors and your actors start dating them."
While smoke-shamming the actress, a user wrote, "And do you support Mahira Khan "a mother","Pakistani actress" smoking in public with Ranbir Kapoor?"
However, some twitterers also came out in support of the actress.
"Everyone's bashing and slut-shaming @TheMahiraKhan, why because she was smoking a cigarette on streets?" posted one, while another tweeted, "Bashing Mahira for dating Ranbir wearing small dress and smoking is disgusting on so many level's... She's not your slave."
