A clip from a restaurant has sparked criticism online after a staff member dressed as a ghost was seen approaching diners to scare them.
Dining out today goes beyond just food, with many restaurants experimenting with immersive themes and interactive concepts to attract customers. But one such experience in Varanasi has come under fire after a viral video showed a young child being left terrified by a staged “horror” act.
A clip from Kankal Horror Restaurant has sparked criticism online after a staff member dressed as a ghost was seen approaching diners to scare them. While some customers appeared to enjoy the act, one moment in particular has drawn sharp reactions.
In the video, shared on the eatery’s official Instagram page, a young boy is seen growing visibly uncomfortable as the costumed staff member moves closer to him. Within seconds, the child breaks down in tears and repeatedly pleads, “Please papa nahi,” clearly overwhelmed by fear. Despite his distress, the act continues, with no immediate intervention from the parents visible in the clip.
