After a while, another woman visiting the store stood up for the girls and asked the woman to apologise. 

Yet another woman present there said it is women like her who encouraged males to nurture a patriarchal mentality. 

The woman looked into the phone cameras of the girls and said, "These women want to wear short dresses just to encourage others to see them.” 

The woman also asked the parents of the girls to "control them". The woman also dared the girls to circulate the video.

One of the girls Shivani Gupta posted the video that went viral on social media the woman received an immense backlash.

“This middle-aged woman you’ll see in the video addressed seven men at the restaurant to rape us because she felt we deserved it for wearing short clothes and bashing her unsolicited opinion...Our instinct was to turn away from the drama but supported by our colleagues, we took her on at a shopping centre, nearby. We gave her the chance to apologies, to no avail, of course. Nothing moved the needle for her, not even another woman who learned the story on the spot and implored her to apologies,” said Gupta in her post.

Dancer-rapper Raftaar and dancer-actor-host Raghav Juyal criticised ‘Aunty’ for her orthodox mindset on their social media accounts. 

Raftaar posted the chunk of video on Instagram and wrote: " This is aunty. Aunty wants women in short dresses to be raped by men. Aunty is the prime example of what’s wrong with society. Dont be like aunty. @sunkissedshitzu sister we are with you. Instagram can go f*#k itsef. Tell them to delete all the propaganda, videos of people harming people and animals (unless they are proofs like this video above), all the stupidity done in the name of humour etc etc first. #auntyjiapologise.” 

Reposting Raftaar's video on Twitter, Raghav wrote: “raftaarmusic bhai this is heights This aunty needs growth, If any of her family members are seeing this post please try to educate her , throw some light on her and tell her about…”

The video was later deleted by Instagram for violating its community guidelines.
