An Indian-origin woman attending an Albanian music festival was racially targeted by a group of girls. A video circulating on X shows a visibly frustrated Dr. Pranoti Kshirsagar sharing her experience at the festival. Her candid account as a tourist in Albania has resonated with many, garnering support after she described facing racism, while others perpetuated the same behaviour.
Dr. Kshirsagar was attending a Jason Derulo concert in Tirana, Albania. In the video, she can be heard saying, "I was waiting in line, and a group of four girls just came up, cut the line, and when I pointed it out, they repeatedly told me to go back to my country."
She added, "They laughed about it, called me their mother, and made other remarks."
She concluded the video by sarcastically saying, "I feel very welcome, Albania. Great job, thank you so much."
The video was originally posted on TikTok by Dr Kshirsagar.
