Imagine watching a movie along with your parents. You’re all having a good time, munching on snacks, and passing commentary about the events of the film. All of a sudden, an intimate scene pops up. *dead awkward silence*
This is probably what happened to people watching the IPL match between Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans recently when a couple kissing popped up on the screen. The couple, who were sitting on the stands and watching the match, caught the cameraman’s attention who decided to show their personal moment to the thousands of people enjoying the match.

Jokes aside, IPL should be launching something like kiss cam . It will be so much fun and it will make our people more acceptable for public affection https://t.co/avNdFNNg0Y

On the other hand, there were many who slammed the couple for engaging in PDA and also those who came in support of the couple, asking society to normalize public display of affection.
This country will always remain awkward about PDA.

A ‘Kiss Cam’ usually happens during sporting events in the US and Canada where a camera scans the crowd and selects a couple who are to then kiss, which is then shown on a jumbo screen. Do you think India should start this too?
