A video of a young girl walking in a towel on a Mumbai street has gone viral on social media, sparking a flurry of reactions. The video features Tanumita Ghosh, a digital creator and winner of Myntra Fashion Superstar, as she struts down the streets of Powai, Mumbai, wrapped in a pink towel.
The video, originally posted by Ghosh on her Instagram, shows her walking from a bus stop to a nearby hotel, with people staring at her as she makes her way. She then sits on a bench, adding a dramatic element by dramatically removing the towel covering her hair and then the one wrapped around her body, revealing a beautiful neon yellow dress she had worn underneath.
Ghosh clarified in her post that the video wasn’t a recent event, but a throwback to a 2019 show where she was given a specific task. “Guys, just FYI, this video is a part of a show filmed in 2019 and a part of a task,” she wrote, emphasizing that the show was judged by prominent figures like Sonakshi Sinha, Shaleena Nathani, Manish Malhotra, and Dino Morea. “This was a task in one of the episodes, so please don’t take it so seriously! Thank you.”
Despite her explanation, the video garnered over 13,000 views on Instagram, with mixed responses. Some users criticized her for the bold prank, comparing her to another controversial figure, Urfi Javed. Others, however, were supportive, praising her confidence and recalling her as a favorite contestant from the show.
The video has sparked a debate about the boundaries of public performance and social media content. Some viewers felt the prank was inappropriate, while others appreciated her willingness to push boundaries and entertain. The viral nature of the video highlights the ongoing conversation about the role of social media in shaping perceptions and influencing public opinion.
