Lucknow district administration, City in India

New York, Dec 2 An Indian-American model and social media influencer, whose family hails from Lucknow, has apologised after being slammed for calling Varanasi 'scariest city' in her TikTok video.Atlanta-based Aparna Singh was in the city, which is regarded as India's spiritual capital, on a business trip to meet manufacturers behind her jewellery brand, Indian Goddess Boutique, The New York Post reported.On her trip, she shot a TikTok video titled, 'Scariest city I ever visited: Varanasi, India', which received comments from almost 10,000 people with many asking her to "travel with an open mind".A barrage of criticism forced her to share another clip in which she apologised for coming across as "disrespectful".The footage began with Singh saying that Ganges River is polluted and full of sewage."You see people are bathing in it. On the way to the hotel you see dead bodies being burned, and look at the hotel, how creepy does it look?"She also showed footage of her hotel calling it "shady" and "creepy"."The door was creepy and the electric fences so monkeys don't get in, and to go in and out of the hotel you have to go in this shady alley.""You see people sleeping in the middle of the street and even dogs, yeah you guys this place is really creepy," Singh said in the video for which she used scary sound effects from the film, 'Amityville Horror'.She hashtagged her video with words like, #scarytiktoks #spookytok #creepytok #travelindia #uttarpradesh #travel #indiantiktok #scarytiktoks #scariestplacesonearth.According to the Post, almost 10,000 people commented on the video with many asking her to "travel with an open mind"."Next time do your research beforehand and be open to new experiences without so much judgment," a TikTok user wrote, to which she responded: "I did my research, it was worse than I imagined and I was scared."A lot of them schooled Singh saying: "The reason why the Hindus bathe on the River Ganges is because it's considered their holy sacred water and it... removes their sins."I would like to apologise because I wasn't trying to be disrespectful. I was simply just saying my experience," Singh explained in her apology clip."Maybe it was the tone, the music. I have been travelling everywhere and I have been posting about Jaipur, I've been posting about Mumbai. Y'all don't care about the good videos I post but as soon as I say the bad experience I had, it just blown up, TikTok, that's how y'all are."Singh has been featured in Forbes India and her TikTok went viral during the pandemic with orders for her nose rings shooting up, The New York Post reported.She was born and raised in Georgia in the US, with her family hailing from Lucknow, the Post said.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
