The 23-second clip shows Kira walking along a roadside, reportedly on Yamuna Kinara Road in Agra. During the walk, an auto-rickshaw driver and another man approached her. In the background, some locals can be heard calling out, “Ma’am, Ma’am, Excuse Me Ma’am.”
The video appears to have been recorded by one of her companions walking behind her. Kira looked uncomfortable as she continued walking down the road.
The clip quickly gained attention online. Within two days, it received more than 23,000 likes and was shared thousands of times. Many social media users expressed concern about the experience of the foreign tourist and raised questions about safety for visitors in India.
However, Agra Police later issued a clarification regarding the incident. According to officials, some claims circulating on social media were inaccurate and exaggerated.

Assistant Police Commissioner Sukanya Sharma said that there was no molestation or direct harassment involved in the incident. She added that some social media users were spreading misleading information about what happened.
Police officials stated that Kira had recorded and uploaded the video herself and later mentioned that she felt uncomfortable during the walk. Authorities believe this led to rumours and different interpretations being shared online.
The police also said that they remain committed to ensuring the safety of tourists visiting Agra, which is home to the world-famous Taj Mahal. Officials reminded people that spreading false or inflammatory information on social media could lead to legal action.
