'Aap Bahut Sexy Ho, Friend Banoge?': Russian YouTuber Harassed While Vlogging In Delhi Market

In a shocking incident, a Russian YouTuber, famous for her 'Koko in India' channel, faced harassment while taking a leisurely stroll in Delhi's well-known Sarojini Nagar market. A video currently going viral captures a man persistently attempting to strike up a conversation with her and suggesting they become friends. It is this approach that appears to deeply unsettle her.

During a live stream from the market, he asks, "Can you be my friend?" Later in the conversation, he confesses that it has been his dream to befriend a Russian girl. However, the conversation takes an inappropriate turn, making the vlogger extremely uncomfortable. He remarks, "Aap vaise bahut sexy ho. Kya aap (friend) banna pasand karoge?," which translates to "You are very sexy. Would you like to be my friend?"

A YouTube user commented, "Being an Indian, I apologise for that guy's behavior." Another person wrote, "Being an Indian, I am deeply sorry for that shameless and desperate guy. I apologize for the existence of such individuals in our society. I also admire your courage and the way you handled the situation."

This is not the first time such an incident has occurred. Previously, a Korean vlogger named May5w on Twitch had an unsettling encounter with a man. This incident garnered significant attention when segments of her live stream went viral. It occurred while May was waiting at a tram stop in Central, Hong Kong, around midnight. A man approached her, seeking information about tram routes. As they engaged in conversation and time passed, the woman grew increasingly concerned due to the late hour and the absence of trams. She decided to take the MTR (Mass Transit Railway) instead.

As they conversed, the man put his arm around May, expressing gratitude. She attempted to free herself, saying, "Okay, okay." The man's behavior escalated as he grabbed her arm and insisted, "Listen, come with me." Nervously, May responded, "Please don't hold my arm."
