The video has gone viral, triggering a wave of online apologies and concern from Indian users.
Two American sisters travelling in India with their family have alleged that a man secretly filmed them from a hotel window while they were sunbathing by the pool in Gurugram. The video they posted about the incident has gone viral, triggering a wave of online apologies and concern from Indian users.
The women, Rory and Sage, shared a short video on Instagram through their handle @roryandsageofficial, which has over 16,000 followers. The clip was shared a week ago.
In the clip, the camera zooms in on a hotel room window where a man appears to be holding up his phone and filming them. The sisters, visibly uncomfortable, say they were simply relaxing by the pool when they noticed the man watching and possibly recording them.
Along with the video, they wrote, “Well it looks like we’re going to have to find a new past time. If you’re a female planning on coming to India, I wouldn’t come without a body guard of a man lol. Whether you are sun bathing or fully clothed, we are finding this behavior very common in India.”
Their post quickly sparked reactions online, with several users commenting in support of the sisters and apologising for the behaviour they experienced. One user wrote, “I am from India and I’m sorry, really really sorry.” Another added, “As an indian yes this is unfortunately v common here. Old retired uncles capturing you.”
Some offered advice on how to deal with the incident. “Please report it to the hotel, not the staff present but some senior management and they will take action, if not you can even file a report to the police. This should not be taken lightly and we need strict actions from foreigners, so that they can start taking local women seriously too. It might be a hassle to talk about it, you can send them an email too,” one user suggested.
Others pointed to a wider issue, saying the problem isn’t limited to foreign tourists. “Traveling to India for a Bikini vacation will only ruin your holiday girlies, even if you walk in your pjs men will keep staring… so don’t go at all even we aren’t safe!,” one comment read.
Another person wrote, “We are sorry for creating an insecurity for you. People in our society never learns to mind their own business. This is the same reason we fight among ourselves a lot…”
“So sorry from any Indian person leaked of your privacy, found on social media, but Indian people is very honest and India is safe place of world for tourism,” a user wrote.
