Humorous protest in Mumbai targets 'Male Best Friends' and 'Talking Stage,' video goes viral
A viral video from Mumbai shows a humorous protest against "male best friends" and the "talking stage," which is the non-committal chatting phase between potential couples. The protest featured posters with overused phrases, sparking a mix of amusement and criticism online.
Up until a few years ago, best friends were just best friends. It's unclear when exactly the definition of a pure bond like "best friends" was reduced to tags like "male best friend" or "female best friend." When 'best friend' was mentioned, I used to think of hanging out with them, being their 'partner in crime', gossiping, letting out emotions, and making endless inside jokes. But after several years, "best friends" began to take on a role that instead made many people feel insecure.

A video that showed a group protesting against "male best friends" and "talking stages" in Mumbai was shared, illustrating the same point in a much lighter and more humorous way.
The group displayed posters with a few overused lines while protesting. The video quickly became popular, eliciting a wide range of opinions. Most thought it was humorous and contrived, while the others were unhappy over 'glorifying' such weaknesses. Many people backed the protest.
Protesters opposed the 'talking stage', which received widespread support. For those who are unaware, the 'talking stage' is a slang term used to describe a stage in which a potential pair continues to chat rather than commit.
The Mumbai video was shared on X (previously Twitter) under the account 'Ghar ke kalesh'. The message went as follows: "Protest against male best friend and talking stage in Mumbai."
How did people on the internet react?
The video was shared yesterday, and it received 130K views. Here's how people reacted to the humorous video.
