Hold Or Let Go? Viral Challenge Leaves Internet Shocked And Divided

New Delhi: These days, a strange “loyalty test” trend is becoming increasingly viral on social media; people are both surprised and upset after watching it. Many users are calling it dangerous, while some are ignoring it, considering it to be just entertainment.

What is this new loyalty test trend?

In this trend, two people stand face to face and hold each other's hands firmly. After this, hot tea is deliberately poured on their hands. It is claimed that the person who does not remove his hand even after suffering pain is considered true and loyal. As strange as this sounds, it feels equally scary when you watch the video.

Has removing hands become evidence of infidelity?

This is the most surprising condition related to the trend. If a person withdraws his hand as soon as the tea is spilled, then he is not considered honest in the relationship. The one who maintains his grip despite the burning hand is called a “perfect partner” or a “true friend”. Many people are calling this thinking completely wrong and irresponsible.

Why are people making such videos?

Initially this trend was seen among couples, but now groups of friends have also started adopting it. Many such videos have been viewed millions of times on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. In the desire to go viral on social media and in the race to get more likes and followers, people are ignoring their safety.

What do users' reactions say?

A debate has erupted on social media regarding this trend. Some people are calling it a fun challenge, while a large number of users are calling it dangerous, childish and stupid. It is being written in many comments that loyalty is proved not by enduring jealousy, but by trust and respect.

Is this an alarm bell for the youth?

Experts believe that such trends can take the youth in the wrong direction. Hot tea can cause severe burns, skin damage, and even permanent scars. Despite this, people seem ready to harm themselves just for a few seconds of reel.

Isn't the price of going viral too high?

This trend once again raises the question of whether the desire to gain fame on social media is outweighing people's wisdom. It is not necessary to endure pain to prove loyalty, but it seems that this point is being left behind in the race for trends.
