The duo, apparently inspired by Bollywood filmy scenes, didn’t bother about fellow commuters on road and were rather getting intimate in public. Someone shot a video of the Lucknow lovebirds and shared it on social media.
In the video, a scooter could be seen plying on road with medium speed. The girl is seen sitting cross-legged facing the boy and also wrapping her legs around him. The couple was also seen kissing each other on the road.
