It was yet again “internet fame, likes and views” that ended up pushing an internet user to do something bizarre on social media! A video was shared on the internet showing a saree-clad woman making a ‘romantic’ Instagram reel with a train while standing on railway tracks. To make the incident even more bizarre, the woman had tied her saree’s ‘pallu’ to the front of the train.
In the background of the video, a regional song was playing, which the woman was also seen lip-syncing to.
The video quickly went viral, drawing many reactions. While most people found the incident bizarre, others tagged the authorities and demanded strict action against the woman. Times Now could not independently verify the details or the authenticity of the post.
Check out the viral post:
“The race to create reels is bankrupting people not just mentally, but socially as well. For a few likes and views, people are starting to gamble away even their sense, shame, and responsibility. Sometimes it feels like humanity shuts off the moment the camera turns on,” the post read.
The post was shared on X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘Nalanda_index’. The post was shared yesterday and pulled over 2K views from netizens.
रील बनाने की होड़ लोगों को सिर्फ मानसिक रूप से ही नहीं, बल्कि सामाजिक रूप से भी दिवालिया बना रही है।
कुछ लाइक्स और व्यूज़ के लिए लोग अपनी समझ, शर्म और जिम्मेदारी तक दांव पर लगाने लगे हैं।कभी-कभी लगता है, कैमरा चालू होते ही इंसानियत बंद हो जाती है। 📱🎥 pic.twitter.com/twWXJ8n5hm

Internet’s Reactions:
“I’m speechless,” a user said. “This is just ridiculous. Are you seriously telling me that such people are allowed to take this clause to a train and make videos like these,” added another. “This is so sad. What is going on in our country in the name of online fame and all that,” added another.
In another video that went viral a while back for similar reasons, a woman was seen casually emptying an entire bottle of soft drink over her head while also posing for a video. The unusual and rather “unimpressive” stunt was recorded at the Bakhtiyarpur railway station platform in Bihar.
