Recently, a hilarious video went viral where a woman dressed up as Manjulika is seen pranking people in Delhi Metro. While many were baffled by the sight others looked seemingly unbothered.

Manjulika style
The woman looked at every passenger in typical 'Manjulika' style
Later, after the man shifted to the other side, the woman took his seat and stared at other passengers in the typical Manjulika style with her eyes wide open and filled with vengeance and rage. She also approached people seated in their seats and even scared a child peacefully sitting beside his mother. The video became quite popular on social media.
Reactions
While many laughed at the act, others weren't pleased
While most people found the act hilarious and laughed at it, many did not like it and referred to it as "pathetic overacting". Some social media users showed sympathy to the people who were on the metro returning tired back home from work and were forced to witness the "lame act". Many also called it a scripted act and referred to it as "torturous".
Similar incident
A similar hilarious incident took place in Rajasthan's Bharatpur
A similar incident was reported a few days back in Rajasthan's Bharatpur where a woman pretended to be Manjulika to scare residents. In the video, the woman draped in a white bedsheet sporting open hair was seen hiding in the corner of a hotel. While she jumped out in front of people to scare them, she also delivered a scary dialogue from the film.
