Delhi Metro is again in the news, that too for the wrong reasons. This time, a video has surfaced in which a woman can be seen confronting a couple engaging in public displays of affection (PDA).
The video has ignited a spirited online debate regarding the boundaries of expressing affection in public spaces.
The incident, captured on camera and widely shared on the internet, has triggered discussions on the appropriateness of such displays in shared environments.
In the video footage, a middle-aged woman can be seen addressing the couple, expressing her concern that their PDA inside the train was making fellow passengers uncomfortable. She urged them to reserve such affectionate gestures for more private settings outside the metro, a viewpoint that many consider logical and reasonable.
The incident has sparked numerous online conversations, with netizens deliberating on the extent to which couples should be allowed to engage in public displays of affection.
While some argue that such acts should be permitted as an expression of personal freedom, others contend that there should be limits to such behaviour, taking into account the comfort of others in shared spaces.
Although the video does not provide a comprehensive account of the incident, it clearly illustrates the woman's advice to the couple to exercise restraint in their affectionate behaviour while inside the metro. The couple can be seen engaging in a discussion with her in response.
Opinions on social media are divided, with some viewers suggesting that the woman may have overreacted, while others support the idea that boundaries should be respected and public displays of affection should be kept to a minimum.
