Watch Kids Groove To 'Aaj Ki Raat' from Stree 2 On Teachers' Day – Video Sparks Online Debate

Tamannaah Bhatia 's vibrant dance number "Aaj Ki Raat" from Stree 2 has become a fan favorite, inspiring countless dance covers and creative interpretations. However, a recent performance of this song by schoolchildren has sparked widespread outrage on social media, highlighting a clash between entertainment and educational decorum.

The controversy centers around a video of children performing "Aaj Ki Raat" during a Teachers' Day event in Assam. The celebration, held on September 5 to honor educators and marked by a banner featuring Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, India's second President and a respected teacher, has been overshadowed by the dance performance. The video shows kids recreating moves from the song, with one child dressed in an outfit similar to Tamannaah Bhatia 's costume in the film.

Since the video went viral, social media users have expressed their disapproval, questioning the decision to feature a Bollywood dance number at an event dedicated to teachers. Many argue that such performances undermine the significance of Teachers' Day, which is intended to pay tribute to educators and their contributions.

Comments on social media have been harsh, with critics pointing fingers at both the school organizers and the parents involved. Some users suggested that the dance routine was choreographed by teachers, implying that educational institutions should bear responsibility for the inappropriate choice of performance. One X user remarked, “This dance would not have happened without personal training by one of the teachers. All such dance and song programs by small kids are taught and choreographed by teachers of the school. I think that is the case here too.”

Others criticized the event as a sign of misplaced priorities. One comment read, “This is such a shameful act from the organisers and parents who allowed this. What are we teaching our kids?” Another user expressed concern over the motivations behind the performance, stating, “The problem with today's parents is they want to get famous through their kids, whichever way possible.”

The reaction highlights broader concerns about the appropriateness of entertainment choices in educational settings. Some users also voiced fears about the audience's reaction, with one commenting, “I am more afraid about the hooting coming from the audience,” and another simply stating, “This is sickening!”
