In a bizarre viral video, a Russian woman recorded herself charging ₹100 from every Indian who approached her to pose for a selfie.

The video opens with Instagram user @angelinali777 mimicking requests from locals to pose for photos. "Ma'am please, one photo? One photo? We are tired of these and I have one solution," she says, holding up a piece of paper which read "1 selfie ₹100"

She holds up the sign on the beach as several Indian men surround her and click pictures. They pose next to her as she keeps holding the sign. Many of the men were willing to pay for the selfie as she shows off her earnings to the camera.

"And now we are all happy. Indians have their photo with a foreigner, and foreigners are not tired because they’re paid for selfie. How’s this solution?" she wrote in the caption for the video.
