The prevalence of influencers and content creators vying for attention on social media has led to a concerning trend of individuals attempting daring feats to capture viral moments. A recent video shared on X (formerly Twitter) has raised eyebrows as it depicts a girl engaging in a risky dance routine in the midst of traffic, provoking anger and concerns over public safety.
The footage, posted by user Raja Babu, captures the girl walking on a busy road with passing two-wheelers and auto-rickshaws. Seemingly unperturbed by the traffic, she throws her bag on the ground and lies down to perform a dance step. The impromptu performance continues as vehicles come to a standstill during a traffic halt. The girl gets up and dances while maintaining eye contact with the camera, as onlookers, including commuters, observe the spectacle. The location of the incident remains undisclosed.
Since its posting on the microblogging site, the 23-second clip has garnered significant attention, amassing 1.5 million views and over 10,000 likes. The caption accompanying the post reads, “The internet was better when it was expensive.”
Responses to the video express frustration and disbelief at the audacity displayed. One user sarcastically remarked, “Love the faith in Indian traffic that they won’t jump the red light and let her perform the dance.” Another questioned the consequences of such actions, stating, “What absolute insanity is this? What should be the punishment for these wannabe social media sensations causing a nuisance (and sometimes even endangering innocent lives) in public places like busy roads, railway stations, inside trains/buses, etc.?”

Calls for legal measures are echoed in comments, with one individual suggesting, “There should be a law to fine this stupidity and obstruction of traffic.” Expressing confusion and concern, another commenter stated, “I can’t understand what euphoria they get by doing these kinds of things…Abee yaarr.”
