Delhi Metro has recently been in the news for all the wrong reasons. From a desi girl dressing like Urfi Javed to a couple kissing inside the metro, several viral clips made news in recent days.
The video of a young couple kissing and snuggling inside the Delhi Metro has now sparked a debate on public display of affection. Many social media users are of the opinion that it is a shameful act and should be banned inside the Metro as many school-going kids and youngsters also use it for travel.
On the other hand, a few others argued that such things are common in foreign countries and in this era of the internet and social media in 2023, it should become a new normal.
A Twitter user identified as Richa Sharma shared the intimate video of the couple and wrote, “Shameful viral video from Delhi Metro. After Patna junction, once again all the passengers on the Delhi Metro train had to be embarrassed. Peaceful kissing video #shameless.”
Her tweet has gone viral with a plethora of reactions and counter-comments from other social media users.
“Kya Metro me bachho aur bade budhe ne chalna band kar diya? Kya ye sab public place main hi karna zaroori hai?” commented a user.
Another user wrote, “These two are cross breeds and people around them are cowards. No one had the guts to slap them.”
A third user wrote, “Yeh samaj ki gandgi hai,” while another user wrote, “Hawas dekhiye Delhi Metro Main.”
However, a section of social media users came out in support of the couple.
“There is nothing shameful in it, they are just kissing each other and this should be normalised,” wrote a user.
Another user wrote, “Chill guys, it’s just PDA.”
“I think just a kiss is not a shameful act in public,” wrote another user.
“This is so damn normal outside India. Stop living in the 19th century in 2023. You all can go watch movies in theatres where the couple is kissing but then you got a problem with this? Wow. It is their life and their personal matter. Mind your own business,” commented another user.
