Sannati Mitra, a Kolkata-based model and influencer who identifies as the 2017 Miss Kolkata pageant winner, has sparked a major controversy after posting a video of herself dancing in a towel at Delhi’s iconic India Gate. The video, which recreates a scene from the popular Bollywood film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, shows Mitra dancing in a white towel and slippers, mimicking Kajol’s famous “Mere Khawabo Mein” dance sequence.
The video quickly went viral, but it was met with widespread outrage on social media. Many users criticized the act as inappropriate, with some accusing Mitra of “crossing all limits.” The location, India Gate, holds significant historical importance as a memorial for Indian soldiers who died during World War I, and several critics expressed concern that the video disrespected the martyrs commemorated at the monument.
Many social media users voiced their dissatisfaction, questioning the lack of action from Delhi Police and calling for stricter measures against such displays, which they deemed vulgar. Some individuals expressed disappointment over the lengths to which people like Mitra go for attention, with many questioning the accountability and lack of discipline in public behavior. Others argued that the act was a blatant affront to the sanctity of the monument, which is viewed as sacred by many.

This is not the first time Mitra has found herself at the center of controversy. Previously, she faced backlash for a photo taken at a Durga Puja pandal, where she was photographed with two other women wearing outfits deemed unsuitable for a religious setting. Mitra and fellow model Hemoshree Bhadra, who identified as Miss Kolkata 2016, received criticism for their attire, which many felt was disrespectful to the religious and cultural significance of the occasion.
As the internet continues to debate the video, the incident raises questions about the boundaries of public conduct and the increasing trend of controversial stunts for social media fame. The outcry calls attention to the need for greater accountability in how individuals represent themselves in public spaces, especially when such actions may offend the sentiments of a large section of the population.
