Watch: Garba on Burj Khalifa by Indian tourists stirs anger– this is how netizens responded
What began as a joyful moment atop the Burj Khalifa has now become a social media flashpoint. A group of Indian tourists was seen dancing to the popular Bollywood track Chogada on the viewing deck of the world's tallest building, with their clip quickly going viral after a Dubai-based content creator uploaded it (@the_walking_lens_) on June 15. Wearing matching outfits and performing Garba steps, the tourists appeared to be celebrating, but the video did not sit well with everyone. Within hours of being posted on Instagram, it had gathered not only views and likes but also a wave of criticism. Several users raised concerns about whether such acts were suitable in a public, international tourist space. Many questioned the group's awareness of local norms and pointed to the potential discomfort their actions may have caused to other visitors at the site. Watch the viral video here: One user commented, 'Why is this glorified? We must learn to respect the sanctity of public places.' Another added, 'Pathetic civil sense. Being so ignorant about the surroundings that it doesn't matter if people around them are getting bothered or not. Putting all Indians to shame on an international level.' Other users echoed similar thoughts. 'Why is the comfort of other visitors not being considered now? There's a fine line of difference between enjoyment and discomfort to others!' read one comment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A brain tumor threatens his life.

One user drew a comparison to conduct regulations in India, asking, 'If they can do Garba in foreign countries, can foreigners drink alcohol openly on the roads in their state?' Another highlighted the possible implications of such behaviour abroad: 'Chalo, UAE visa will be difficult now. We make sure our image is tarnished in every damn foreign country.' One user summed up the mood by saying, 'It's not proper etiquette to do this in public areas, as other people might get disturbed… we have to respect that.'
