What began as a quiet evening stroll for a woman in her residential society turned into a deeply unsettling experience when she was allegedly eve-teased, not by a grown man, but by a seven-year-old boy.
The woman, identified as Kiran Grewal, took to Instagram to narrate the incident in a video that has since sparked widespread outrage and debate.
Dressed in a red top and long skirt, Kiran said she was casually walking in her society when a young boy suddenly called out to her: “O laal pari” (red fairy). Initially startled, she chose not to react. But the situation quickly escalated when she passed him again. This time, the child shouted: “Kaun hain tu, chalegi kya?” (Who are you? Will you come with me?).
Adding to her discomfort, the society’s security guard reportedly giggled at the remarks, making her feel even more unsafe and reluctant to respond immediately.
Her composure eventually broke. Kiran confronted the child, after which the guard intervened and told the boy to apologise. He muttered a half-hearted “sorry” before bolting away.
“This is where it begins”
In her post, Kiran expressed her frustration, saying the behaviour was not mere “masti” (fun) but an early sign of a dangerous mindset.
“While on my walk inside my own society, a 6–7-year-old boy called out to me: ‘O laal pari, chalegi kya?’ The same line grown men use to harass women on the streets. Everyone around laughed, even the security guard. But I didn’t find it funny. Because this is where it begins. A child doesn’t invent such words, he hears them, sees them, and copies them. If not corrected, this masti becomes harassment,” she wrote.
What disturbed her further was the watchman’s attempt to downplay the matter. He reportedly told her the boy belonged to a “good family” and had “just been joking”. To Kiran, this response was emblematic of how society normalises harassment if it comes from the “right” people or at a “young” age.
Social Media Reactions
The video has triggered a storm online. Many users sympathised with Kiran and condemned both the boy’s behaviour and the guard’s response.
One commenter wrote: “Bad society. Bad parenting. Feel sorry for you.”
Another said: “You underreacted. Should have said no, let’s call your parents. Make him an example for other kids.”
A third pointed out: “The sad part is you had to show what you were wearing before telling about the incident. That says a lot about our society.”
A fourth urged: “100% you should speak to his parents. This is the time to stop him. If not corrected now, he will grow up with that mentality.”
The incident has opened up broader conversations about how early boys are exposed to sexist language and behaviour, and how quickly society brushes it off as “harmless fun”.
As Kiran herself highlighted, “A child doesn’t invent such words, he learns them.”
And while a seven-year-old might not fully grasp the weight of his actions, the responsibility, many argue, lies with parents, schools, and society at large to correct such behaviour before it becomes ingrained.
