The video has since gone viral, garnering over one million views, more than 68,000 likes, and upwards of 500 comments. Reactions online have been mixed. While some viewers praised the man and called out societal bias, others remained sceptical about the authenticity of the clip.The person who uploaded the video has identified himself as a delivery agent in his Instagram bio and regularly shares similar “shocking” delivery experiences. This has led many social media users to believe that his videos may be scripted or staged, though some viewers insist the incident could be real.Comments on the video reflect this divide. One user critically wrote, “Bhai wo dil se gareeb nahi hai, lekin aapne apni soch dikha di unhe bhikhari bol kar” (Brother, he may not be poor at heart, but you’ve revealed your mindset by calling him a beggar). Another user jokingly commented, “Bhai wo alag hi level ka banda tha” (That guy was on a whole different level). Meanwhile, several others dismissed the clip outright, calling it “scripted.”The video has once again sparked debate around social perceptions, online content authenticity, and how quickly assumptions are made based on appearances.
