PDAs now appear normal in many spaces across our towns and cities, yet opinions deeply differ on this. But is it right for couples to kiss openly so that anyone can watch, without feeling discomfort?
A viral video sparks heated debate about manners, respect and basic boundaries in shared public places today. Everyone watches with mixed emotions as they view intimate moments played out without any sense of restraint.
Social worker Bhanu Nand posted a viral video on X of a couple kissing behind a water tank. He added the caption, "Looks like people are more influenced by Dhaakad, that's why they start anywhere. In my opinion, it is not wrong to do this with the consent of both, but it is wrong to start anywhere. If both of you are adults, then you have full right to do this, but in a private place."
लग रहा है लोग धाकड़ से ज्यादा प्रभावित हैं इसलिए कहीं भी शुरू हो जाते हैं

मेरी नजर में दोनों की सहमति से यह करना गलत नहीं है, लेकिन कहीं भी शुरू हो जाना गलत है।

He means that while mutual consent grants adults freedom, they should still choose private settings. Nand compared their boldness to Manohar Lal Dhakad, a BJP leader arrested after a public obscenity video on the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway. The irony is the surname "Dhakad" literally means "fearless," reflecting his daring acts.
Referencing Dhakad links their act to a local daredevil's fearless approach. The video highlights tensions between personal freedom and community norms and respect for onlookers in shared public environments.
The social workers highlight that mutual consent gives adults the freedom to share private moments in their way. However, public displays can affect bystanders who may feel uneasy when witnessing unexpected intimate acts outdoors. When people accept such behaviour anywhere, society's norms on decency and respect may weaken over time.
Public places should balance personal freedoms along with overall community comfort and mutual respect for others. The debate around the viral video shows strong views on choice decorum and the right setting.
Online reactions flooded in as viewers debated whether this viral video crossed lines of public decency. One user wrote, "Aisa hi chalta raha to hum jald Western culture se aage nikal jayenge", expressing concern over shifting traditions.
Another follower angrily said “Aise vedeos post kyu krte hain aplog” to criticize lack of public sensitivity. One user joked “ये धाकड़ साहब से प्रेरणा लेकर आए हैं” as they shared laughing memes. And a person laughed “शक्ति प्रदर्शन रुकने का नाम हीं नहीं ले रहा है 😂” mocking the public display.
This viral video debate shows public displays can unite or divide communities on personal freedoms. It remains clear couples need to choose private settings to respect public comfort and space.
