A recent video featuring journalist Anuj Singhal has sparked controversy as he compares the nightlife of Mumbai and Gurgaon (Gurugram), leading to widespread backlash on social media. Singhal's remarks, which were perceived as derogatory towards Mumbai while praising Gurgaon, have ignited a debate online and prompted criticism from netizens.
In the viral clip, Singhal records a reel late at night from Gurgaon, where he disparages Mumbai's nightlife and asserts that Gurgaon offers a superior experience. Singhal's use of abusive language to describe Mumbai's nightlife as "ja*d" (messed up or worthless) has drawn sharp criticism from viewers, who accused him of disrespecting the city and its residents.
Many netizens condemned Singhal's behavior as unprofessional and inappropriate, speculating that he may have been under the influence of alcohol while filming the video. The clip has been widely circulated on social media, with users expressing their disapproval of Singhal's comparison and calling out his disrespectful attitude towards Mumbai.
While Singhal's video has sparked debate over which city offers a better nightlife experience, it has also highlighted the contentious nature of city rivalries in India. Gurgaon, known for its ahaata system (BYOB - bring your own bottle) where patrons can bring their own liquor to restaurants, has become a popular nightlife destination among Delhiites. Meanwhile, Mumbai boasts a diverse array of bars, pubs, and restaurants catering to various tastes and preferences, offering a vibrant and safe nightlife experience.
