Among those who accused the nightclub of animal cruelty after the visuals went viral is popular actor Swastika Mukherjee. Sharing two short videos, which show people petting a chained monkey, the actor wrote in an instagram post, "I'm ashamed to say the least! It's disheartening to see what #toyroomkolkata did in the name of an act to stand out! Well, you sure did. For all the wrong reasons."
