In the video, which is captioned ‘For everyone asking me without the full picture’, Hasbulla explains: “Those brothers who think that I was beating the cat, pulled the ear this and that, I pulled the ear gently.
“And I know that people are waiting for the moment, if I write something wrong, to just attack me like this. Like, ‘you do this, you do that’.
“She [Barsik] was misbehaving and I just pulled the ear and that’s it. I love my cat more than you. If I didn’t love the cat, I wouldn’t have it at home.
“My most lovely animal is a cat. And when she disobeyed, I scolded her a little. And you are attacking me for nothing.”

The video has been met with a mixed reception, with some praising the viral star for apologising and explaining the situation.
One person says: “Hasbulla loves cats. Hasbulla is a very loving and kind person. Please don’t judge only by that short video.”
“We got your back king,” expresses another fan.
A third person adds: “In this space, the hate is quick to come without context and the love feels so far off. We are here for you fam.”
Someone else pens: “No need to apologise king.”
However, others are continuing to criticise Hasbulla and are calling for his actions to have consequences.
One person says: “My only criterion is that cats don’t learn from it. You only make her nervous and afraid of you in general.”
“You don’t discipline animals in a physical way. Plain and simple. Your actions are not justifiable,” slams a second.
