A video going viral on social media shows a woman repeatedly hitting a man– believed to be her husband– with a slipper while riding pillion on a moving two-wheeler. What has surprised many viewers is the man’s response: he stays focused on the road, showing no signs of resistance or retaliation.The incident is reportedly from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, though the exact time and location remain unverified. The Times of India cannot independently confirm the date, time, authenticity, or location of the video.The clip, which has crossed over 4 lakh views, was widely shared by social media accounts like ‘Ghar Ke Kalesh’ on X (formerly Twitter). While some users joked about the dramatic visuals, many flagged the serious safety risks of such behaviour on a busy road. Watch the viral video here:
The video has drawn mixed reactions– some called it a domestic spat playing out in public, while others raised concerns over road safety and the public nature of the altercation. Several users also questioned why bystanders chose to film the incident instead of intervening or alerting authorities.While social media often amplifies sensational moments, the larger takeaway lies in what the video reflects: reckless public behaviour, poor road discipline, and the growing normalisation of dangerous conduct for the sake of entertainment.
In a nutshell, while the video may seem entertaining to some, it highlights serious concerns about safety and public behaviour. A moving two-wheeler is no place for such fights, as it puts not just the riders but others on the road at risk. The fact that people chose to record the incident instead of helping also raises questions about how we react to such situations. As more of these moments go viral, it’s important to remember that real-life actions have real consequences, and not everything should be treated as entertainment.Thumb image credit: X/Ghar Ke Kalesh
