"They're really scared of a guy with an acoustic guitar. Uncle and his bff against me, equipped with an innocent guard bhaiya. I tried to stand my ground, but I like peace," wrote Venserto in the caption of his post.

The video shows him sitting on the ground and strumming his guitar. Then, two men enter the scene and start to question him about what he was doing. Once Venserto tells them that he is playing music and recording himself, the men ask him to stop. Later, the two people start questioning him about where he lives and ask for his address. When Venserto refuses to tell them, the two seem to get agitated. Throughout the video, he politely tries to explain to the men that he isn't doing anything wrong by playing music.

An individual said, "I never felt like slapping anyone before, but that old guy makes me want to slap him hard. Doesn't matter if he is old or not he deserves it. Entitled person."

A second added, "What a bully, such bullies need a good talk back, so entitled."

"Common older Indian mentality. Responses are taken as disrespect. Such healthy social dynamics we have," wrote another sarcastically.

A fourth posted, "These retired uncles have no job and only know how to harass others."
