Creating reels has become a daily routine for many, and crafting reels within the confines of the Delhi metro is now more prevalent than ever. Whether it’s dancing, modelling, or any other type of video, passengers on the Delhi metro are always game for anything and everything, consistently making headlines. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more bizarre, a video has emerged, going viral, and leaving Desis thoroughly repulsed.
In the video, a man is seen opening a carbonated drink can and kneeling down to pour the beverage for a woman. She then goes on to fill her mouth and starts gushing that drink into the man’s mouth. Yes, you heard that right! This couple goes on to share their drink in the creepiest way imaginable, by spitting the liquid back and forth between their mouths, leaving viewers squirming in utter disgust.
In no time, the video began to circulate on the micro-blogging site ‘X,’ and the comments poured in like a flood. “Eating/drinking is strictly prohibited in metros, and this type of cheapo giri will encourage others too,” while another speculated, “This must be in Delhi Metro.” A third quipped, “Lucky we that they don’t eat Vimal.” A fourth commenter sarcastically wrote, “Mind blowing.”
Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time that such controversial videos have emerged from the Delhi metro. Kissing videos of couples in public transport have surfaced on the internet several times, despite the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) issuing guidelines to discourage such actions that make other passengers uncomfortable. In March, they imposed a ban on filming inside Delhi metro trains. However, many videos from inside the Delhi Metro coaches continue to appear online.
In a public service message on ‘X,’ DMRC stated, “Travel, don’t cause trouble.” The message was accompanied by a graphic that urged passengers to “be a passenger in Delhi Metro, not a nuisance.”
While there has long been a ban on photography inside Delhi Metro and station premises due to security reasons since the service’s inception, in recent times, particularly with the rise of social media, the ban has not been strictly enforced, and such videos serve as evidence!
