As per reports, this 23-year-old woman had called her cousins for the Raksha Bandhan celebrations. However, she was so upset and ended up refusing to celebrate after her cousins refused to be part of her Instagram reels.

A Reddit user shared how his sister asked them to make a reel on a ‘cringe audio’ to which they declined. Despite the refusal, she tried to convince them by showing that her friends had also created similar reels.

“She got so upset with me that she refused to tie me a Rakhi because of this reason. I still gave her gifts, but is a reel that important to people? She didn’t even talk to me after that. Was I wrong,” the user shared.

The Reddit post went viral and drew a lot of reactions, leaving users divided about the woman’s bizarre behaviour.

“Dikhawe ka zamana hai bhai, log dekhne le liye itna nahin taraste jitna log dikhane ke liye,” shared a user.

Another user wrote, “Even my 10 year old niece is more mature. Some people care about their audience more than their family.”

“Rakhi is an emotional bond. I cried when my sister tied me rakhi because she is set to marry in a year or two,” shared another user.
