A video went viral on social media showing a woman, believed to be Indian, recording herself dancing in the middle of a US subway coach as commuters around her look visibly uncomfortable.
The young woman, wearing a t-shirt and red pyjamas, stood in the middle of the coach between the two rows of passengers and started dancing, while others struggled to get past her.
Some passengers were seen giving her awkward glances, while a man seemed to hesitate before squeezing past her. The identity of the woman was not revealed, and News18 could not independently verify the time, date or the location of the video.
Social media users said the woman’s behaviour was disruptive and maligned the reputation of the country. “In an attempt to look cool, this Indian girl ends up creeping people out in a US metro — the passengers look visibly uncomfortable,” a user wrote on X.
“She went to the US and immediately started doing mujra in the subway. People are feeling uncomfortable because of her,” another person said. A third netizen commented, “They are looking at her like she is some kind of a freak. What a ridiculous way to grab eyeballs!”
“Not everyone is here to inspire. Some just exist to test your belief in humanity,” an individual replied. “I’ve now realised that stupidity and confidence often go hand in hand,” another said.
This video emerged weeks after an Indian woman was caught for allegedly stealing from a Target store. After spending over seven hours at the Illinois store, her suspicious behavior alerted staff, who then contacted authorities.
Police claim she attempted to steal merchandise worth around $1,300 from the retail store. A Target employee accused her of spending hours in the store and attempting to leave with a cart full of unpaid items. Responding to the video, one user wrote, “Being an immigrant, I can’t fathom the audacity of being a guest to this country and breaking its laws.”
