Indian Man Creates Dance Reel Abroad, Faces Visa Backlash

A video of an Indian man dancing energetically on a busy street in an unnamed foreign country has gone viral on social media, igniting a wave of criticism and calls for his visa to be revoked.

The now-viral reel, shared on Instagram by @fem.social, shows the man performing dramatic dance moves in the middle of a bustling pedestrian area. During the video, he appears to accidentally bump into a passerby, briefly apologizes, and then resumes his performance with increased enthusiasm.

While the video has received over 600,000 views, the overwhelming response online has been negative. Many viewers criticized the man for what they perceived as disrespectful behavior in a public space abroad. Commenters described the act as “embarrassing,” “uncivilized,” and “attention-seeking,” with several urging authorities to "cancel his visa."

One user wrote, “How are these people even getting visas?” while another remarked, “Oldest civilization, least civilized behavior.” The criticism reflects a growing concern among netizens about how such public behavior may affect the global perception of Indian tourists.

This incident is part of a broader trend where videos of Indian travelers engaging in loud or disruptive behavior abroad face backlash online. Many see such acts as lacking cultural awareness or decorum, especially when filmed for social media engagement.

Experts say the incident highlights the tension between individual expression and collective responsibility. In an age where content goes viral within seconds, travelers are increasingly being held accountable not just for their conduct, but also for how that conduct reflects on their country.

As digital platforms continue to amplify such moments, the debate over responsible tourism and respectful public behavior remains more relevant than ever.
