What happens when public spaces meant for peaceful living turn into spots for private indulgence? A recent viral video has sparked outrage online, showing a young couple engaging in intimate behavior in a narrow residential lane — raising serious concerns about public decency and the misuse of shared spaces.
As the viral video circulates, people are showing open objections against such public romances. Netizens are mostly taking it as a violation of public decency, taking it as a moral degradation of modern youth.
@ManojSh28986262 shared this video on the X handle, drawing attention to the growing trend of college students skipping classes and using secluded residential lanes for romantic encounters. In the now-viral clip, a boy is seen holding and embracing his girlfriend in a narrow alley of a residential mohalla.
सड़क छाप आशिकों ने मोहल्ले की गलियों को ही इन्होंने पिकनिक पार्क बना दिया !!

कॉलेज का गोल मरकर एक्स्ट्रा क्लास का होमवर्क वाला वर्क पूरा कर रहे हैं !!
मोहल्ले में रहने वाले ने वीडियो बनाकर सोशल मीडिया पर कर दिया वायरल !!#ViralVideo #Soshalmidia pic.twitter.com/NuATaLwCax
The couple seems unaware that they are being filmed from a nearby building. The person recording the moment, reportedly a local resident, later uploaded the footage to social media, where it quickly gained traction.
Residents have voiced concerns, stating that such public displays of affection can be uneasy for families residing there. They are pretty uncomfortable with youngsters turning their mohalla into picnic parks for quick romance.
People on social media are also showing a mixed reaction. Some view it as a childish romance, while others are clearly against such a public display.
One user, @ShubhamSingh030, commented sarcastically, “Abhi isko cylinder uthane ko bolo toh rona aa jaye... aur ladki ko dekho kaise utha raha hai,”. Another user @manojsh45560320 points out, “जब देश में जनता के सेवक नेशनल हाईवे पर कर रहें हैं ये तो छोटी बात है 😀😄😃”.
However, not everyone is taking it as a fun or innocent college romance, as @HimanshuKu41840 took a harsher stance. He says, “ये लोग समाज में एक गंदगी है और कुछ नहीं”. This is a note that, for some, such public affection is a serious hit on their cultural norms.
Following the viral video, local authorities have taken action to stop such acts in the future. Such minor issues can be resolved with discussions. Young couples should opt for private places instead of residential lanes to share their romance. Authorities also need to emphasize that people should not share videos of individuals on social media without their consent.
The viral video stirred debate beyond the lanes of Lucknow. This highlights the question of civic sense, morality, and privacy yet again.
