She attached the end of her saree to the engine before stepping forward and beginning her performance.Wearing sunglasses, she danced with exaggerated expressions while singing along to the song. She repeatedly gestured towards the train as the saree remained attached to the engine, seemingly trying to recreate the kind of dramatic romantic sequence often seen in Bollywood films.The video was captioned with a broader criticism of the lengths people go to for social media views. “For a few likes and views, people are starting to gamble away even their sense of shame and responsibility,” the post read.
