In a video that has taken social media by storm, a camel—belonging to celebrity couple Muneeb Butt and Aiman Khan—can be seen breaking free from its rope and bolting down a street, leaving a trail of shocked onlookers and frightened residents. The incident, which occurred ahead of Eid-ul-Adha preparations, quickly captured the attention of fans and followers online.
The camel, adorned in festive and colorful decorations, was tied up in a residential street, presumably as part of the family’s Qurbani arrangements. However, the peaceful scene turned chaotic when the camel suddenly broke free and began running, causing nearby people to scatter in fear. The footage shows the decorated animal trotting swiftly through the area while residents, some shouting and others fleeing, tried to avoid its path.
Minal Khan Joins the Banter
Actress Minal Khan, who is Aiman Khan’s twin sister, also joined the moment in good humor. She shared the viral video to her Instagram story, tagging her sister Aiman and brother-in-law Muneeb Butt. Your camel has gone viral, she wrote, adding a laughing emoji—turning the serious moment into a bit of family fun.
The video sparked laughter and amusement across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter), with memes and humorous captions following shortly after.
Muneeb Butt Breaks Silence, Reveals What Triggered the Escape
Later, Muneeb Butt addressed the incident through his Instagram stories, confirming that the video was indeed real and that the camel belonged to his family. He clarified that the incident happened a day earlier and that they were able to piece together what caused the camel to panic—CCTV footage revealed that some local children had thrown stones at the animal, startling it enough to break free from its restraints.
Muneeb shared a strong but thoughtful message in response:Parents, please teach your children to treat sacrificial animals with kindness and care. These animals are brought home for a religious purpose. Throwing stones and disturbing them is not only cruel but dangerous.
A Reminder About Eid-ul-Adha and Animal Welfare
The incident has sparked wider conversations about how sacrificial animals are treated in the lead-up to Eid-ul-Adha. Every year, millions of Muslims prepare for Qurbani by bringing animals such as goats, cows, and camels to their homes. While it’s a deeply significant religious act, animal welfare and safety protocols often go overlooked—especially in urban residential areas where space is limited.
Muneeb Butt’s reaction highlights a growing awareness among public figures about ethical treatment of animals, even during traditional practices. His appeal for parents to educate children on empathy and proper behavior around animals was praised by many fans, who applauded the actor for turning a viral moment into a meaningful message.
Fans React with Humor and Support
Social media, of course, had a field day. While some users shared lighthearted memes about the celebrity camel,others expressed concern over the animal’s safety and the recklessness of those involved in provoking it.
Imagine your Qurbani animal becoming more famous than you, one user joked.
Another commented, “Poor camel just wanted peace!
Still, the general tone remained sympathetic, with many fans appreciating Muneeb’s transparency and responsible attitude toward the situation.
No Harm Done—Camel Is Safe
Fortunately, the camel was later retrieved safely and without harm. The Butt-Khan family ensured that the animal was cared for and calmed after the ordeal. The couple, who are among the most loved celebrity duos in Pakistan, took the moment in stride—acknowledging the viral fame of their animal while focusing on the core message: respect and kindness towards sacrificial animals.
As Eid-ul-Adha approaches, Muneeb Butt’s words serve as a timely reminder to celebrate the festival with empathy, mindfulness, and responsibility. And as for their camel—it may have made a surprise debut on social media, but it has surely become one of the most talked-about animals of the season!
