The Delhi Metro girl later identified herself as Rhythm Chanana and also spoke in an interview about the video.

“It’s my freedom in what I want to wear. I am not doing this for a publicity stunt or to become famous. I don’t care what people have to say.”
As people on the internet said she was “inspired” by Uorfi Javed, she said “ I didn’t even know who she was until recently a friend showed me her photo. However, I look up to her after knowing her story.”
She further added how this was not a one off incident when she wore such clothes. “This choice didn’t come in a day, it’s a process. I also belong from a conservative family where I wasn’t allowed to do what I wanted, hence one day I decided I would do as I wanted since it’s my life. I have been travelling like this for many months now. It happened to be viral now. I have not been allowed to travel on Delhi’s Pink Line, but on any other line I haven’t faced such a problem.”

The DMRC Statement
Following this incident, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation issued the following statement-
“The DMRC expects its commuters to follow all social etiquette and protocols which are acceptable in the society. Commuters should not indulge in any activity or wear any attire which could offend the sensibilities of other fellow passengers. DMRC’s Operations & Maintenance Act in fact lists indecency as a punishable offence under Section 59.
We appeal to all our passengers to kindly maintain decorum while traveling on a public transport system like the Metro. However, issues such as the choice of clothing while traveling is a personal issue and passengers are expected to self-regulate their conduct in a responsible manner.”
Violation of Privacy
Regardless of what she wore or did not wear, clicking her picture without her consent and circulating it on social media was a clear violation of her privacy. It is important that people respect the privacy of others and do not go around clicking pictures without consent.
