A shocking video was shared on social media. In it, a daughter is seen making a reel near her dead father’s body. She was crying, mourning his death, and recording the video as well. This infuriated social media viewers, with some calling it the height of shamelessness.
The location of the video has not been confirmed, but many are suggesting it is from Punjab. In it, a man’s body was seen lying on the ground, with several women sitting beside him, weeping. The man’s daughter was sitting in the front row. Crying over her father’s dead body, she suddenly took out her mobile phone and started making a reel. He also included women from the neighborhood in his reel. He then shared the reel on social media, where it went viral.
People were filled with anger
The reactions on the video are worth watching. One user wrote, “What happened? A reel near the dead body of a father? Humanity is dead!” Another commented, “She’s selling her family’s pain for likes. Shame on you!” “In our time, we didn’t even bring cameras to mourn, and today…” said an elderly user. The outrage became so intense that many started reporting the video. Several platforms removed it, but screenshots and shares are still circulating. Some are calling it fake or even dramatic, but whether it’s real or not, it highlights the dark side of social media.
Such videos have come out before
This is not the first mourning reel. Reels have been created and shared on similar occasions. Sometimes, some people even make and share reels of corpses burning in crematoriums. It’s as weird as it is to watch, and it’s even more infuriating. According to psychologists, social media addiction has pushed people to “performative grief”. Sharing grief provides validation, but it suppresses true feelings. The younger generation will do anything for likes. According to a survey, 40% of young people post sad moments without even thinking about it. It’s a form of “digital narcissism,” where nothing matters more than selfies and reels.
