Are you someone who would prefer having a male best friend instead of a boyfriend? If yes, you know that you aren't alone where many youngsters are restricting themselves to an adorable bond of friendship and staying away from a romantic relationship. A "boy bestie" is someone with whom a female feels connected to, finds trustworthy, enjoys spending time with, and expresses care and affection. But not everyone is fine with this role.

A video of a few youngsters protesting against male best friends has surfaced online. It records a bizarre demonstration showing the youth raising their voices against the concept of male best friends, only to learn later that it was a staged protest with a promotional touch.

"Pasandida mard ne kar dia sar-dard (Desired man has caused a headache)," read another.
