“Taj hotel me bhi kaand kar ke aa gaya yaar. Transaction matter karta hai yaar, phir chaahein dollar se karo ya chillar se,” he wrote as he posted the video. The video opens to show text inserts that read, “Out of the blue thought of paying at Taj Hotel with chillars.” The video then shows how the content creator dresses up in a suit and visits the restaurant. After his meal, he pulls out a pouch and starts counting the coins.

This makes me so happy,” posted an Instagram user. “How inconvenient it must be for the staff to leave everything else and count coins, I hope you apologised for it,” shared another. “Owning yourself doesn’t mean spreading inconvenience to others, LOL,” commented a third. “Itna confidence chaiye bus [I need this kind of confidence],” wrote a fourth.
