Public Display of Affection (PDA) has been a contentious issue in many societies, with opinions on its acceptability varying widely. In several countries, including India, PDA is generally viewed as indecent and disapproved of. However, despite societal censure, some young people continue to showcase their love and relationships in public.
Recently, there has been an increase in PDA incidents in Delhi Metro, which has caused concern.
Delhi, with its vast population and extensive public transport network, has experienced many cultural shocks. However, some incidents have shocked even the most seasoned travelers. With the advent of social media, bizarre and strange incidents on the Delhi Metro often go viral. This has led some individuals to engage in odd behavior, seeking social media attention.

Public displays of affection on the metro or other public transportation often incite anger in other commuters. It’s not that they don’t appreciate love or hate it. It’s more that no one wants to witness an amorous display while waiting in line or on a crowded train.
A video of a couple passionately kissing inside a Delhi Metro coach went viral last month, sparking outrage against PDA. Unfortunately, a similar incident occurred recently, and a video of a couple sitting on the floor of a crowded coach went viral. The boy leans in to kiss the girl, who has her head resting on his lap, which infuriated internet users, prompting them to express their outrage.
How are people silent and not saying a word against them ?? And instead filming them and making the videos viral

Moreover, some people raised doubts about the authenticity of the couple’s affection. They questioned whether it was genuine love or staged for social media attention.
Many people also wondered why there was a surge in such viral videos. However, some users had different interpretations of the scenario and expressed opposing views.
For instance, one user suggested that the boy was administering CPR to the girl, potentially saving her life.

Meanwhile, several onlookers observed something unusual about the girl’s behavior and hypothesized that she could have been under the influence of drugs.

As a result, the metro authorities have recently banned shooting reels and videos inside the coaches, attempting to restore the primary purpose of the metro as a mode of transportation.
