Viral Video: This viral video going around is quite exciting, controversial, showing a couple getting intimate in public. The video was shot at the Nauchandi Fair in Meerut, where the couple did not hesitate to kiss in front of a large crowd, and it received equally mixed reactions from viewers.
Nauchandi Fair’s Unique Intersection
Shared by Sachin Gupta on the social media platform X, it was annotated as a “Selfie video of kissing scene at Nauchandi Fair” that has been celebrated for centuries in western Uttar Pradesh. It is dedicated to Maa Navchandi and attracts participants from far and wide around. Gupta’s post brought out the rich tradition of the fair, juxtaposed with the contemporary scene captured in the video.
This short, powerful video shows a boy and girl embracing each other and kissing in the sight of all. The open expression of their emotions to such an audience and amidst such a large group of people, in fact shocked many onlookers. The video, when spread across the Internet, became an instant hit and gained many diversified responses.
Public Outcry
Many viewers vented their outrage, slamming the couple’s actions as inappropriate for the setting. The comments on the video ranged from reprimanding the couple for their public display to sarcasm about parental reactions. One user comments, “Well done, if their parents are watching this, they must be feeling proud,” reflecting the polarized opinions surrounding the video.
Despite all the criticism, the video has run into thousands of views since it was uploaded on July 22, which speaks to its reach and resultant reaction. It simply goes to prove how contemporary expressions of love are so often at variance with traditional values and social expectation, particularly in such culturally significant settings as the Nauchandi Fair.
