Viral Dance Video: The much-hailed Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay found itself in the middle of a major controversy, as a video of one of its events began to do rounds on social media. The video showed a female student dancing on the stage at an event, to one of the most hit item numbers of Bollywood; Malaika Arora’s ‘Munni Badnaam’ song from 2010’s ‘Dabangg’. Wearing a lehenga choli, the woman was seen performing with a few other supporting dancers at the back. As soon as the clip went viral, it mostly did not sit well with the netizens. As per how the internet reacted, it seems like social media found the dance highly ‘inappropriate’ to be performed at an IIT college.

The video began to receive countless reactions after getting shared. Most people criticised the college authorities for not intervening, while the rest compared the performance with dance performances of other questionable events that usually do not take place at an institute.

The dance video was shared on X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘venom1s’. The post was captioned, “Item dance in IIT Bombay. Add this college to the list of Amity, Ashoka, and Lovely Professional University.” The video was shared a while back and pulled 153K views from people.

Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “Bollywood gets another low-acting item,” a user said. “Some people will justify this by saying that IITians have the smartest brains. Therefore, such entertainment should continue along with studies,” added a second person. “So colleges are also promoting this kind of shit,” added another.

“There are many other colleges and coaching centres where such obscene programs take place,” commented a fourth person. “People go to IIT to study, then what is happening?” added a fifth person. “Watch it on mute and your mind will start to think it's a Bhojpuri item song,” commented a sixth user.
