Inappropriate dance: Kids dance to Stree 2 song Aaj Ki Raat, video angers people
Users on X criticized the decision to let children perform to the song Aaj Ki Raat from Stree 2 during Teachers’ Day celebrations.
Tamannaah Bhatia’s dance number Aaj Ki Raat from Stree 2 has been a fan favourite since its release and also inspired many to share videos of their creative twists to the track. However, one particular dance video to this song has sparked social media outrage. The clip captures kids dancing to this track during Teachers’ Day celebrations.
What does the video show?
The clip opens to show a few kids on a stage with a banner in the background that suggests it is an event organised to celebrate Teachers’ Day, observed on September 5 each year in India. The banner features an image of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a revered teacher and the second President of India, whose birthday is commemorated on this day.

As the video progresses, the kids recreate some of the steps in the original item numbers, with one of them wearing an outfit similar to Tamannaah Bhatia's in the film. A school in Assam organised the event.
Social media outrage:
Since the video resurfaced, it has angered people, with many questioning why the kids were allowed to dance to this song.
“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,” suggested an X user. Another added, “This is such a shameful act from the organisers and parents who allowed this. What are we teaching our kids?”

A fifth joined, “I am more afraid about the hooting coming from the audience.” A sixth wrote, “This is sickening!”
