'Why waste water?': Sourav Joshi faces backlash after making pool inside moving car
A video of YouTuber Sourav Joshi creating a makeshift pool inside a moving vehicle has drawn criticism online.
Popular YouTuber Sourav Joshi is facing criticism after a video showing him and his friends turning the back of a moving vehicle into a makeshift pool surfaced on social media.
The video was originally shared on Sourav Joshi's YouTube channel. After a clip from it was reposted on X, it received criticism from several social media users.
The caption read, "God, please give Sourav Joshi some common sense. What is he even doing? Did he mistake a truck for a swimming pool? Is this even legal in India? As such a huge influencer, his actions can inspire millions of kids to copy him, especially since so many children watch his content."

Another commented, "We'll do anything in the name of content."
A third user said, "There is no limit to what he'll do for content."
Some also raised concerns about water wastage. "Why are they wasting water?" one person asked.
What did others have to say?
Not everyone agreed with the criticism. Some felt the creator was simply making entertaining content and should be allowed to do so.
"Gotta do it for the content, bro, and he's got the cash to pay the fine too," one user joked.
Another commented, "Many influencers have already done it."
One person defended the video, writing, "They are enjoying themselves and posting their crazy life. There should always be someone who thinks outside the box."
