The Aaj Ki Raat song from Stree 2 has inspired several reel and video recreations on social media. However, a recent one has sparked massive outrage on social media. In a video, young school girls could be seen dressed as Tamannaah from the song and recreating the steps of the item number. The video is seemingly from a Teacher's Day function as a banner of Dr Rajendra Prasad adorns the background.

While the school's name and location remain unknown, social media users have been bashing authorities for letting young girls perform on the song which is laced with sexual innuendos. Some netizens have even demanded a ban on such songs so that it does not affect young minds. The videos are now going viral on social media.

The video of school children performing to the Stree 2 song is widely circulated online. A user on X (formerly Twitter) reshared the video and wrote, “Whose Fault ?  Bollywood OR Parents?” Another wrote, “Just saw a video of a small girl nearly 10 yr old dancing on aaj ki raat item song with wearing inappropriate clothes . I don't even know that girl but still, I feel too ashamed.” A user lashed out saying, “The obsession of these choreographers/parents to make their kids dance on numbers whose lyrics are not meant for them.” Another wrote, "I mean on what kind of teachers wanted to see students dance on song "Aaj ki raat husan ka maja lijiye"? Is that a school or some bar?"
