The clip captures the rickshaw puller engaging in conversation and providing guidance to his foreign passenger seated in the rickshaw. Following the widespread circulation of the video, netizens have taken to social media to share their perspectives and opinions on the interaction.
In the video shared on social media, the man can be seen describing Jama Masjid in English language and offering help in clicking photographs or shopping from the ‘narrow’ streets nearby. “India’s largest mosque, Jama Masjid. There are also narrow, narrow streets,” he says.

One user writes, ‘People have talent and education, but the government has no jobs. Because the government has to make the people self-reliant in this way, the government has to waive billions of rupees of loans from its friends. Which wants to make people rich with the hard-earned money of the common people.
Another user writes, ‘If I had known this, today I too would have been answering the British in their own language. ,
Another user wrote, ‘Amit Shah’s son should learn English from this.’
