Actor Abhinav Shukla links porn viewing to global warming; Rubina, Hina react
Abhinav Shukla linked pornography consumption to global warming and social harm in a recent conversation on his podcast the4POV. The remarks prompted surprise in the studio and mixed reactions online.

Actor Abhinav Shukla sparked a discussion on climate change, pornography and its impact on society during the latest episode of the4POV, the podcast hosted by Rubina Dilaik and Hina Khan along with their husbands, Abhinav and Rocky Jaiswal.
In the episode, the group discussed actor Dia Mirza's comments on climate change and the debate around factors contributing to the climate crisis. During the conversation, Abhinav shared his views on the environmental impact of pornography and claimed that the industry’s production and distribution consume significant amounts of energy.
"One of the biggest causes of global warming, among several other reasons, is actually watching porn," Abhinav said. Explaining his point, he added that the energy used in producing and transmitting such content globally contributes to a large carbon footprint.
The statement left Rubina surprised, while Hina and Rocky reacted with curiosity. Hina then asked Abhinav and Rocky whether they watch pornography.
"Porn is dangerous," Abhinav said in response. He explained that it can create unrealistic expectations about reality and claimed that excessive consumption can affect men's motivation and productivity.
"It gives you a very unrealistic expectation of what reality is. For a man, it makes you soft. You lose purpose, you waste time and you lose strength," he said.
When Rubina asked him whether he had ever watched porn, Abhinav admitted that he had. Rocky also joined the conversation with a humorous response, while Hina said she had watched it but was not interested in it.
Rubina added that she had read about pornography being considered addictive, saying that some people view excessive consumption as a problem.
A clip from the podcast has since circulated on social media, with users sharing mixed reactions to Abhinav's comments. The discussion comes amid growing conversations around the topics of digital consumption, relationships and lifestyle choices.
The podcast has also faced criticism in recent weeks over comments made about other public figures. In an earlier episode, Rubina had spoken about an alleged remark made by actor Gaurav Khanna regarding her marriage with Abhinav before her appearance on Bigg Boss. The comments led to reactions online, with some users questioning the discussion of personal matters on the platform.
