Social media tries decoding hashtag:

Several people dropped laughing-out-loud emoticons while sharing their posts. An individual asked, “Aren’t you in longevity and stuff?” Another commented, “The correct tag to use here is 'Dirghayu'.” A third expressed, “+100 points for the hashtag.” A few concluded that he meant to say “Live long,” but the translator he used messed up the meaning of the Hindi word. Some speculated that he got this particular hashtag while translating the name of his book, Don’t Die.

People warn Johnson:

A few suggested places to stay away from while in India. Just like this individual who wrote, “Stay away from Delhi bro- the air quality was awful. I’m in Chandigarh right now, the air quality is excellent. I met fans of yours from Bombay a while back who are making customised monoclonal antibodies so if you go, plan a meet-up and I’ll introduce you.”
