Came for the anda bhurji, stayed for the fitness masterclass.” The post quickly gained traction, drawing a flurry of amused and concerned reactions from users across platforms.

Another quipped, “Bro wanted to start gym today,” poking fun at his sudden burst of fitness motivation.

But not all reactions were light-hearted. A few users expressed concern over road safety, questioning how such behaviour could go unchecked in busy traffic. “Funny, yes—but what if a vehicle hadn’t stopped in time?” one user asked. Another noted, “This could’ve ended in a serious accident. We’re laughing now, but it’s dangerous.”
Others shared mixed sentiments: “Only in India do you get anda bhurji with a side of street stunts,” one remarked sarcastically. “This is peak Pune energy,” another joked, while yet another commented, “Hilarious, but also sad. The city needs better public awareness around alcohol and safety.”
