Man discomforts Russian tourist in inappropriate dance movement in Delhi
In a video that has gone viral on social media, a young man was persistently prompting a female Russian Tourist near India Gate, New Delhi in an attempt to create a dance video, regardless her clear discomfort.
The viral video has garnered over 70 lakh views.
The incident has sparked outrage and raising questions about the treatment of visitors in popular tourist areas.
Reportedly, India attracts lakhs of tourists each year, and while many visitors report positive experiences with the local populace, incidents like this highlight the need for greater awareness and respect for foreign tourists.
The video showcases the Russian girl attempting to capture a photograph when a dancer, identified as Sachin Raj, abruptly approaches her, attempting to engage her in a dance. Instead of respecting her wishes, he continues to dance around her, pursuing the girl to flee in an effort to escape the unwanted attention.
As the situation escalated, the girl’s parents appear seemingly distressed by the boy’s actions, indicating a serious breach of decorum and respect for personal space. The boy, unfazed by the girl’s discomfort, follows her, attempting to capture the moment for his social media audience.
Many viewers questioned the appropriateness of his behaviour and whether it was acceptable to film someone without their consent. The viral video, which garnered over 70 lakh views, raised concerns about the impact such actions can have on tourists’ experiences in the country. Instead of feeling remorseful, the boy chose to share the video on Instagram, closing the comments section to avoid backlash.
This incident has sparked discussions about the responsibility of local authorities in protecting tourists and enforcing laws that prevent harassment. It begs the question: what measures are in place to ensure the safety and comfort of visitors in crowded tourist hotspots like India Gate?
While it is common to see local dancers engaging with tourists for fun and entertainment, this episode demonstrates a significant overstep. Many onlookers expressed their disapproval, calling for immediate action to address such inappropriate behaviour.
