If anyone at this point asks what a Kiki Challenge is, you know they've been hiberating. Drake's new song "In my feelings" has spawned a new internet rage, the Kiki Challenge where the performer would step out of a slowly-moving car and dance. The challenge soon became a menace for the law enforcement due to the obvious risks associated with it. Many accidents were reported and the Twitter handles of the Mumbai and Karnataka police put up strict warnings against performing the Kiki Challenge. But a recent video of a duo performing the challenge in a paddy field on the plough has gone viral on the internet. The account belongs to a Telangana-based handle called My Village Show, where two rural men dance to the song in the most adorable way possible.
If you haven't seen it already, here's the video.
In the beginning of the video, the two are seen grooving to the music as they plough through the muddy fields with the bullocks. And as soon as the chorus of the music starts, in keeping with the Kiki Challenge style, the two let go of the reins and dance to the music. According to a The Times of India report, the performers in the challenge are Anil Geela and Pilli Tirupati. The video was shot by Sriram Srikanth in the Lambadipalli village in Karimnagar district of Telangana.
While speaking to TOI, Anil, who is a school teacher by profession, said that they practised a couple of times before they danced in the slush. It was Srikanth who came up with the idea after the Kiki Challenge exploded all over the world. He said, "We are a bunch of people who are fascinated with village life. What else do you have in the village but bullocks?" They then shot the video and uploaded it on August 1 and ever since then, it has gone on to become a viral sensation. My Village Show was originally a YouTube channel where they highlight snapshots of South Indian rural life. The channel features videos from everyday village life and has over 60K subscribers.
