“Because I wanted to call him to Kuwait. But the guy has so many demands and I started just questioning my whole existence. I was like ‘Dude, are you serious?’,” the vlogger says in the video, adding, “He wasn’t talking to me, his manager was talking to me. He has a manager.”

A few expressed their anger and called the food vlogger “elitist”. Just like this person who wrote, “Classic case of elitist mindset. Had it been somebody slightly different looking or coming from slightly different economical backgrounds, these would be completely fair demands. In fact 4-5 star corporate bookings are quite fair considering he would be travelling all the way from India. And you seriously didn't expect him to come alone did you. ? Do better. Be better. The mic should come with a licence.”
