Industrialist Harsh Goenka posted a video showing a machine seemingly applying mehendi to a woman's hand, sparking discussion on social media about the potential impact of automation on traditional professions. The demonstration took place in India, where mehendi application is a common service at weddings and other celebrations, often performed by skilled artists.
