Watch: Woman kiteboards in a saree in viral video

A scene from the Indian movie "Honeymoon Travel Pvt Limited" has recently been recreated by Instagram user Katya Saini, who showcased her kiteboarding skills in the Indian seas while wearing a saree. Kiteboarding is a sport that combines paragliding and surfing, with the participant attached to a surfboard by a paraglider.

In her video caption, Saini wrote, "Saree not sorry I did it, promoting Kiteboarding in India." The captivating footage captures Saini gracefully kiteboarding in traditional Indian attire, offering viewers a 360-degree view with the help of drone cameras.

Since its upload, the video has quickly gained traction, amassing over 200,000 likes and shares. The comment section was filled with praise for Saini's impressive feat, with users expressing awe and admiration. Some exclaimed that it was the coolest thing they had ever seen, while others were in awe, commenting on the mind-blowing nature of the video.


While many praised Saini's unique achievement, some found humor in the situation. One user humorously compared the video to their daily commute during heavy rain, while another jokingly referred to it as an "average kaamwali bai in Delhi," adding a touch of lightheartedness.

Amidst the positive feedback, some users provided suggestions to Saini. While appreciating her cultural pride, they emphasized the importance of practicality in different situations. One user advised dressing according to the activity, noting that cultural pride is important but not at the expense of comfort and practicality. Another user questioned whether the same amount of praise would be received if Saini had been wearing a regular sports outfit instead of a saree.

Katya Saini, a professional kiteboarder, scuba diving instructor, and wildlife biologist, showcases her diverse skills to inspire her audience. Her impressive kiteboarding video in a saree serves as a testament to her talent and cultural pride. Viewers can watch the video on her Instagram page.
