India should ban approaching tourists for making reels.
We need to realise that in a foreign country, tourists are trying to avoid conflict and if they tolerate such behaviour, it is because they are prioritising their safety.
The question is, why put tourists, who are our guests, in a position where they have to think about their safety instead of enjoying India?
For those saying she didn’t protest, try this in their country where they are not afraid of you and then see.
A recent incident at India Gate brings this problem into focus, where a man’s intrusive attempt to film a social media reel with two Korean tourists left them visibly uncomfortable.
He first requested a fist bump, catching the women off guard—one hesitated, unsure if he meant harm, before reluctantly agreeing. Not stopping there, he pushed for a hug, making comments about their appearance that left them visibly awkward and uncomfortable. Their body language tense smiles, hesitant gestures showed they were trying to defuse the situation rather than engage willingly.
This isn’t just about one man’s poor judgment, it reflects a broader trend of ignoring consent and personal space, something every visitor should be able to expect.
