Indian tourists break into classic Bollywood song at Eiffel Tower, viral video divides the Internet: ‘Annoying and embarrassing'

A group of Indian tourists recently brought a touch of Bollywood nostalgia to Paris, captivating fellow travellers with an impromptu jam session at the iconic Eiffel Tower. The now-viral video on Instagram shows the group singing the classic Hindi song Aaja Sanam Madhur Chandni Mein.
Sung by legendary singers Lata Mangeshkar and Manna Dey, the popular romantic song is from the 1951 film Chori Chori.
In the video, the group is heard singing in harmony, drawing the attention of foreign tourists, some of whom seem to be enjoying the spontaneous jamming. Some can also be seen clapping, smiling, and nodding along.
Sharing the video, an Instagram user, Pankaj Gupta wrote, 'Every tourist enjoyed an indian song with us on the Eiffel Tower, perish, France.'

The video has since been shared by many. However, it did not sit well with many social media users who called the incident 'embarrassing.' Slamming the video, a user wrote, 'Many of them look startled… People like these should be banned from travelling… just because they feel good doing this in a large number, they think everyone does. It's not like that you insensitive narcissistic people.'
Another user commented, 'Why? Maybe a few people enjoyed it, but look at others' faces. I am living in North America, 100% sure 10 people out of 100 like us singing in a closed space like an elevator or something, and the rest 90 will look at you surprisingly because we are intruding into our personal space too. Please try to figure out what civic sense is.'
'When will we understand and learn to respect others' privacy? Annoying and embarrassing,' a third user reacted. 'Great Indians. Great Singing.Great Choice. Great Jubilations.Go on enjoying,' a fourth user chimed in.
Last week, a video of an Indian baraat passing through Wall Street in New York City sparked a debate, with many users criticising the grandeur as 'unnecessary'.

Rana Naidu 2 actor Rana Daggubati on online negativity against cinema: Art has to disturb those who are comfortable

Actor Rana Daggubati, who recently returned with season 2 of the web show Rana Naidu, continues to balance his presence between the big screen and the OTT space. No stranger to long-form storytelling - having made his streaming debut in 2023 - Rana says he has developed a measured understanding of cynicism often disguised as opinion - and how to rise above it. 'Art has to disturb the guys who are comfortable and create some kind of satisfaction to those who are disturbed and I believe in that,' says Rana, as he goes on to talk about online trolling. Rana Daggubati takes on trolls and shares with negativity. Sharing how he remains unfazed by online negativity, the 40-year-old says, 'Commenting is everybody's job and social media is a real thing. Everyone feels the need to say something and that necessarily doesn't have to be right or wrong - it's just someone's opinion.' Also Read| Exclusive| Rana Naidu 2 actor Rana Daggubati: Globally, theatres are on a decline Rana, who has worked across the Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi film industries, is well-versed in the different cultural expectations and the varied emotional responses of audiences when a film falls short of those expectations. 'When you take the size of a country like ours, the cultural understanding of people is very different,' Rana says. Recalling his experiences promoting films across India, he adds, 'We travel so many kilometers with a sense of what they (audience) understand, and it can be very different from how we choose to live our own lives.' He acknowledges that in a country as vast and diverse as India, different opinions are inevitable and one should take it in their stride. 'It just gives us a sense of understanding of those people because our jobs will not change. I have been doing this for 15 years and I will continue to do it,' he says before signing off, 'As creators, it's our job to say, 'Here's a story, let's see how many people it reaches.' That's what we need to focus on.'
