Mumbai: A video has gone viral on social media on the occasion of Gudi Padwa showing a woman beating dhol during a procession. What's more concerning in the video is that a child is seen sleeping on the dhol as the woman beats it during the procession. The video has gone viral receiving widespread criticism against the woman for neglecting the child's health for gaining fame on social media using such a stunt.
In the video, one can see the woman, a vadak (one who beats dhol), beating dhol during a procession. She can be seen surrounded by other vadaks around her, beating dhol in rhythm and with full power. On the other hand, a small baby, probably the woman's child, can be seen resting on the dhol, leaning on the woman. The little child can be seen resting calmly amid the loud noise of the dhols in the surroundings.
Netizens Slam Woman For Neglecting Child's Health
Netizens have bashed the woman in the video for the move, with some asking whether she has basic common sense whether to take such a little child in such a noisy surrounding. Teja-Hitman Premi, an X user who shared the video on his social media account said, "There's no limit left to what lengths people will go to, what stunts they'll do to get fame on social media! A baby's ears are not fully developed until 0-3 years. Brain is also not fully developed. Therefore, naturally, such children cannot tolerate loud noises."
Here are some more reactions to the video:
