A video featuring students from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay dancing to the Bollywood song “Munni Badnaam” has gone viral, generating mixed reactions on social media.
The clip shows a female student performing with others in the background and has led to debates about appropriateness in the context of the prestigious institution.
While some social media users criticized the performance as unsuitable for a top academic establishment, others defended the students, arguing that there is nothing wrong with their expression.
Critics questioned whether such antics align with the reputation of IIT Bombay, with one user commenting, “People go to IIT to study; what is happening?”
On the other hand, supporters dismissed the criticisms, with comments like “What is the issue, actually?” and “This proves that IITians excel at everything.”
