The Indian society and people are not comfortable with public display of affection (PDA) but still the youngsters of today get engaged in such acts because of which controversies are created.
Currently a video is going viral in which a couple is seen getting engaged in PDA in the Bengaluru metro and it did not go well with one of the commuters who not only made a video but also posted it on X and made a complaint to the Bengaluru metro and Bengaluru police as well.
The X user shared the video with the caption, “Hey @OfficialBMRCL @NammaMetro_ @BlrCityPolice what happening in Namma metro slowly Bangalore metro are turning into Delhi metro Take some action on them The girl was literally kissing the boy”.

The Bengaluru city police responded soon and asked the X user to share his phone number with them. The other online users also reacted to this matter, while there were some who supported the couple, several others were against this behaviour in the metro and public places.
Here are some selected reactions:
I do not see any kissing, just hugging. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
Main question is what should be deemed wrong? Hugging in public? Little peck on cheeks or lips? Full nonstop kissing on lips?
What level of PDA is deemed obscene?— Salil Sawant (@SalilSawant) May 6, 2024
This is not disturbing at all. You are the one to be arrested first for making videos without their consent.

Definitely metro is not the place for PDA.
Good that you highlighted.— [email protected] (@ArijitSena) May 6, 2024
To all those who are defending public displays of affection, consider this: it can be uncomfortable for elderly people, as well as for some individuals. It's important to be mindful of where you engage in such intimacy.

Keep some privacy, have Roman in private and not in public, sending bad messages to public

There is nothing obscene, except for some jealousy being felt, that one doesn't have the same kind of experience with one's own girl friend or absence of one in one's life!
That emptiness! https://t.co/1PMGAAgGEm— Bobby / Seenoo 🇮🇳 బాబీ / శీనూ 🇮🇳 (@AbodeOfLakshmi) May 8, 2024
Mind your own business. And don't film without permission. Close your eyes if you don't want to see people happy.

We have seen a lot of things happening in metros, especially in the Delhi metro; for example, people are fighting for petty causes, few are dancing and doing weird things for making reels, etc. but PDA is a debatable topic considering the fact that it is quite normal in some countries. However, what is normal in one country may not be normal in another, so what is your take on this matter, do share with us.
