Indian woman in US channels Bollywood's 'Stree' for Halloween, internet calls it 'Best costume ever'
An Indian woman in Indiana went viral after dressing as the iconic Stree for Halloween.
A US-based Indian woman’s spooky yet creative Halloween look has left the internet both impressed and amazed. Dressed as the haunting spirit from the Bollywood hit ‘Stree’, she added a desi twist to Halloween.
The video, shared on Instagram by user Divya Yadav, shows the woman walking slowly through a dimly lit parking lot, her face covered and body draped in a flowing red saree.
With her ghostly movements and perfect attention to detail, she captured the chilling essence of Stree.
“Indiana Halloween costume,” the caption of the post reads.
To make the look even spookier, the woman covered her face with the saree and wore black sleeves to hide every bit of skin.
While the original ‘Stree’ targets men wandering alone at night, this version seemed more social, joining in the fun with a ritual-like trick-or-treat celebration.
