Prankster Viral Video: What started as a so-called prank has now sparked serious outrage online. A video showing a man pretending to throw beer at a woman has gone viral — and not for good reason. Netizens are calling the act “insensitive” and “dangerous.”
The clip, shot in a busy area outside a college, shows the prankster walking around with what looks like a beer mug. He approaches a group of college girls and casually asks if they have any water. When one replies that she doesn’t, he suddenly pretends to throw the mug at her. The woman flinches in shock, then confronts him angrily, repeating, “It’s not funny.” Even though the mug was sealed and filled with fake beer, the fear on the woman’s face was real. Several others nearby also called out the man and stood up to him on the spot.
The video quickly spread across social media platforms like Instagram, Reddit, and X, drawing strong reactions. Many viewers slammed the prank as thoughtless, especially in a country where women already face safety threats in public. Instead of laughs, the prank has led to a loud and clear message from the internet: some things just aren’t a joke.

But this Chapripanti is seriously cheap," added another user.
