This Video Of Woman ‘Aura Farming' On Rolls-Royce Is Trending For All Wrong Reasons
Last Updated: An influencer recreated the viral "Aura Farming" dance while sitting on a moving Rolls-Royce Phantom's bonnet. The 'Aura Farming' dance trend has taken the internet by storm. It all started with a viral video of a young boy from Indonesia performing funny hand gestures during a traditional boat race. Since then, many people around the world have recreated the trend, not just on boats, but even on cars, including some very expensive ones. One such video, now gaining attention, features social media influencer Chandana Narayanswamy. In the clip, she is seen performing the aura farming dance while sitting on the bonnet of a moving Rolls-Royce Phantom. The luxury car is one of the most expensive sedans in the world, making the stunt even more eye-catching and controversial. Chandana shared the video on her Instagram page, where she usually posts lifestyle and fashion content. In this particular video, she is seen sitting on the front of the Phantom while the car is in motion. The vehicle, registered in Maharashtra, appears to have been rented for a photo shoot or reel and was likely filmed on private property in Karnataka. Chandana tries to recreate the Indonesian boy's signature dance moves while the car moves slowly forward. Thankfully, she is not standing on the car, which would have been far riskier. While the stunt is still attention-seeking, the fact that it wasn't done on a public road and involved sitting rather than standing has spared her from harsher backlash or legal trouble, at least for now. Did She Turn Off Comments? Shared on August 2, the video garnered over 41,000 views. Interestingly, the post has no comments visible, which suggests that the comment section might have been turned off. This could be a way to avoid criticism, as such stunts often receive negative feedback online. Although the video might seem harmless, sitting on the bonnet of a moving car, especially a high-value one like a Rolls-Royce, still raises safety concerns. While her execution was less risky than others, it is still part of a growing trend of social media stunts done purely for viral attention. Others Who Did the Same, But Faced Trouble Chandana isn't the only one jumping on the 'Aura Farming' bandwagon. Earlier, Telugu actress Rashi Singh was seen doing a similar stunt on the bonnet of a Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG. While she added a disclaimer asking viewers not to copy her, she was heavily trolled after the video went viral and later had to address the backlash. Another alarming incident involved a woman standing on the bonnet of a Mercedes-Benz C-Class while filming a similar video. Her friend, who was driving, suddenly applied the brakes, and she fell onto the bonnet. This happened on a public road, a far more dangerous location. The clip went viral, and police took swift action. @MumbaiPolice @MTPHereToHelp Can you please take strict action on this? These idiot instagrammers are setting up trends where people get influenced in the wrong Way.. her instagram id is -> Video shot in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai 410210. — Máhesh (@TweetToMahesh) July 22, 2025 Authorities tracked the vehicle, detained the individuals involved, and filed a criminal case under the BNS and Motor Vehicles Act. A Dangerous Trend with Real Risks While such stunts may seem fun or trendy, they can be extremely dangerous. Doing them on public roads not only puts the performer at risk but also endangers other drivers. Authorities have made it clear that such behaviour will not be tolerated, and legal action can be taken. Unfortunately, many still chase viral fame without thinking about the consequences, proving that some people don't learn from others' mistakes.
