A woman turned heads in a crowded public square in Turkey when she began changing into a traditional saree on the spot. The now-viral Instagram video shows her standing in a red blouse and black leggings, holding shopping bags, before pulling out a folded saree and starting to drape it on the spot.
She confidently ties a petticoat and wraps the saree around herself as surprised pedestrians slow down to watch. Some stare in curiosity, while others walk past looking confused or disapproving. Unfazed by the attention, she completes the transformation with ease.

A user commented, “Stop doing this type of weird stuff for views.”
“You look no doubt very beautiful, but I am not in support of this public display … .It’s pretty shameful, most of the people are looking disgusted at your background,” another critic noted.
