The video, which went viral within hours of being posted, showed the girl discussing her enthusiasm for achieving her dream of studying in Canada.

A Twitter video that has gone viral recently portrays an Indian woman who now lives in Canada. The woman describes her ‘dream’ to leave her own country. When asked what her favourite thing about Canada is, Ekta says, “You can just walk around and see the scenery, and you can see the sunrise and sunset.” That is my favourite section.”
Many individuals on the internet were offended by Ekta’s viewpoint. A significant number of individuals on Twitter are criticising her.

“Ekta, nature, and its beauty are hamare desh ki visheshta,” says the poet. Why do people believe they are elite simply because they studied or worked abroad? Top Global Institutes face only 1% of the competition faced by top Indian Colleges.
While I admire that you’re studying in Canada or the United States, constantly emphasise to people that you couldn’t get into top universities here. Thus your rich father advised you to go abroad,” a Twitter user commented. “The next time you want to see a real sunrise and sunset, book a flight to Kanedda,” said another. It’s a clear view from there. What Indians have been viewing for a long time are AI-created visuals.”
As the video’s popularity grew, intense debates erupted over national pride, personal ambitions, and the definition of success in an increasingly linked world. Supporters gathered to defend the woman’s freedom to pursue her ambitions. In contrast, detractors accused her of being unpatriotic and disconnected from the realities that millions of others in her own country confront.

Since the post was shared on social media, it has gotten over 1.3 million views, 1,078 retweets, 297 quotes, 6,805 likes, and 267 bookmarks. There are plenty of comments where netizens have mixed reactions towards this video, while some users simply want to go back to India. At the same time, others are just slamming her for her words.
I lived in Canada for a year and moved back. That one year was the most depressing year. The summers are good but winters are a nightmare. Trust me India is far better than Canada if you are well educated.
