The act, captured in a video circulating online, has prompted widespread debate and negative reactions from the public. Critics have questioned the necessity and appropriateness of the public display, deeming it insensitive and attention-seeking. While some defend her right to practice her beliefs, many express disapproval of the performative nature of the act.
