A video of a doctor making a dramatic motorcycle entry through the corridors of Fortis Hospital in Mohali during its Silver Jubilee celebrations has gone viral, igniting a heated debate online over whether such a spectacle was appropriate inside a functioning healthcare facility.
The viral clip shows Dr Swapna Misra, a robotic gynaecological surgeon at Fortis Mohali, arriving at the celebration venue as a pillion rider on a motorcycle that was driven through the hospital premises. As the bike rolled into the stage area, the audience welcomed the moment with loud cheers before Dr Misra stepped off in a specially designed outfit created for the hospital’s 25th anniversary celebrations.

Although the original video was later removed from the hospital’s main social media account, it had already spread across X. A separate video posted on Fortis Mohali’s Facebook page continues to feature glimpses of the motorcycle entrance along with other highlights from the Silver Jubilee event.
Celebrating the milestone, the hospital wrote, “25 years of transforming healthcare. 25 years of earning trust. 25 years of touching millions of lives.”
The Silver Jubilee celebrations brought together doctors, nurses, caregivers, employees and members of the leadership team to commemorate the hospital’s 25-year journey. The event featured cultural performances, dance acts and tributes recognising the dedication and contributions of healthcare professionals over the years.
The viral video has, however, divided opinion. While many viewers applauded the hospital for celebrating a significant milestone in a memorable way, others questioned the decision to ride a motorcycle through hospital corridors.
