A recent video of a woman dancing to the Bollywood song “Aaj Ki Raat” in a metro coach has gone viral, igniting a wave of mixed reactions from social media users. Shared on Instagram by user Saheli Rudra, the video captures her energetic performance in the middle of the crowded metro, drawing the attention of fellow passengers, some of whom appear amused while others express visible irritation.
Metro trains, typically known for their efficiency as a mode of transport, have increasingly become the backdrop for unusual and unruly passenger behavior. Recent incidents have included fights, public displays of affection, and unconventional performances, leaving many commuters bewildered. The dance video, which features Tamannaah Bhatia’s popular track from the movie Stree 2, adds to this growing list of bizarre occurrences.
In her post, Rudra claimed that her performance was done “on public demand,” but the claim has been met with skepticism by many viewers. The video has since garnered nearly 900,000 views and over 24,000 likes, with comments ranging from harsh criticism to support for the dancer.
Many users took to the comments section to voice their disapproval. One user stated, “People are losing their sense of place; this is not the right spot for a dance performance,” while another remarked, “Not everyone is here for your entertainment, please be mindful.” A third commenter added, “This is not a stage, it’s public transport—some people are just trying to get to work.”
Contrasting opinions emerged as well. Supporters of the dancer defended her right to express joy in public spaces. One user praised her spirit, stating, “She’s living her best life! Why not dance if it brings joy?” Another supporter emphasized the dancer’s confidence and talent, calling her performance “super marvelous” and “awesome.”
This incident follows a similar video that surfaced earlier, where another woman was seen performing twerking and belly dancing in front of passengers in a metro coach. That video was shared by the Instagram user @manishadancer, further fueling discussions about appropriate behavior in public transport settings.
As social media continues to buzz with reactions to the latest dance video, the incident raises questions about the boundaries of personal expression in shared public spaces. While some view such performances as entertaining, others argue for a more mindful approach to the context and environment of public transport.
