In a recent online lecture that turned heads for all the wrong reasons, Navneet Tiwari, a faculty member at Adda247, made an unexpected romantic gesture toward his colleague, Sona Sharma, leading to a wave of criticism across the internet. Tiwari’s decision to propose to Sharma during a live session titled “Biggest Surprise Reveal” was met with a mix of astonishment and discomfort from viewers.
In a cringe-inducing display, Tiwari declared his love for Sharma and expressed a desire for her support not only in his professional pursuits but also in his personal life.
However, he failed to directly express his love, instead opting to ask for Sharma’s hand in marriage with a grin on his face.
The awkwardness peaked as Sharma reluctantly accepted the proposal, leaving many netizens questioning the appropriateness of the situation. He said,
“Kabhi nahi socha tha ki ye pal ese camera par record ho raha hoga.”
(….had never imagined that this moment would be captured on camera like this).
While some observers found humor in the uncomfortable moment, others expressed concern for Sharma’s apparent unease. She noted that both sets of parents would need to be involved in any further discussions regarding the proposal. Watch video here:

Reactions from internet users varied, with some criticizing Tiwari’s actions as unprofessional and even repulsive, particularly considering his role as an educator. On the other hand, a few praised his courage, albeit in the face of significant scrutiny.
Amidst the debates and criticisms, there were calls for maintaining a clear boundary between professional and personal lives, with many noting the potential negative impact such incidents could have on students who witnessed them.
The incident served as a reminder of the importance of maintaining professionalism, especially in educational settings, and the need to respect boundaries in both personal and professional relationships.
