Social Media Sensation: Videos of Public Dancing Stir Controversy in Mumbai

Mumbai, 31st May 2024: Spontaneous dance performances set to popular songs have become increasingly common, captivating audiences in public spaces like railway stations and shopping malls. These impromptu acts, often captured and shared on social media platforms, attract attention from online users. However, as the trend of filming reels in metro trains, airports, and other public areas escalates, many view it as disruptive and discomforting for the public.

A recent video circulating on X (formerly Twitter) depicts a woman dancing to a Bollywood hit song, ‘Aap ka aana,’ at Mumbai airport. While some commuters observed her with curiosity, others criticized the act as a public nuisance, calling for airport authorities to intervene. Comments ranged from expressions of discomfort to calls for stricter laws and penalties to deter such behaviour.
