An Indian woman sparked a debate online after a video went viral showing her drying clothes on the balcony rail of Atlantis, The Palm, a renowned luxury hotel in Dubai.
A social media user named Pallavi Venkatesh shared the video on Instagram, capturing her mother hanging shorts to dry under the sun with the caption, "Moms just momming at Palm Atlantis." However, the post quickly drew mixed reactions from viewers.
Video amassed 11.1 million views and over 900 comments
While, supporters found humor in the video commenting, "She is Mom. She can do anything" or "You can take mom out of India, but taking India out of mom is impossible", the critics pointed out potential breaches of etiquette and local regulations. One commenter expressed disapproval, stating, "This is bad manners in other countries. Respect the rules of the hotel you are staying in." Another warned of legal implications, noting, "It's illegal to do this in Dubai! You can get fined, check the laws."
Meanwhile, responding to the viral post, Atlantis, The Palm acknowledged the incident with a light-hearted comment, "Mom duties! We hope you enjoyed your stay! (We include a retractable drying cord in every bathroom, so that you can dry your clothing over the bath)."
