Unsettling Interaction At India Gate
In the viral clip, the man approaches the women and says, "Hello, excuse me, my dream, punch... punch..." seemingly attempting to request a fist bump. One of the women, confused, responds, "You want to punch me?" The person recording the clip clarifies, "Fist bump," after which the women reluctantly comply.
The interaction escalates when the man expresses his "other wish," to hug the women. One of them agrees, though her body language suggests discomfort during the brief embrace. As he walks away, the man adds, "You are so cute. I love you," extending his hand. The women laugh nervously, attempting to diffuse the situation.
Public Outrage And Calls For Accountability
The video has gone viral on social media platforms and has since crossed 2.3 million views, 38k likes, and 49k shares, drawing a barrage of angry responses online. Many users found the interaction disrespectful and embarrassing. One comment read, "Sorry from India." Another viewer said, "Now pls dont complain why indians are facing racism outside of india."
Some expressed frustration at the man's persistence, with a user writing, "First a fist bump, then a hug, then an 'I love you'? This is harassment, not humour." Another added, "Police should take action."
