Well-known sports and fitness trainer Chirag Barjatya shared the video and wrote, “Main bol raha hoon bahut scope hai iss desh main.”
“You won’t believe the number of people that follow her. We are so gullible,” commented a user.
Another user commented, “Major problem in today’s world is that many people are trying to achieve positive life with negative mindset hence anything is sellable.”
However, some also came out in support of the video with a user saying that 'any activity is good'.
"...There is an epidemic of depression, obesity and diabetes in India. Let's encourage anything that gets people moving," the user said.
"That's not an issue if someone wants to join this type of workshop," wrote another user.
"I don't see a problem here; she is masquerading dancing and helping ppl to gain fitness," commented a netizen.
