A Russian woman’s video charging Indians for a selfie with her is going viral on Instagram.
Angelina, who was visiting India, decided to charge Rs 100 for every selfie that Indians requested with her. In the video, the Instagram user mimics the constant asking by locals for photos “Mam, please, one photo? One photo?” She then holds up a sign that reads, “1 selfie Rs 100”.
The video shows some of the men happily paying for the selfie, and she proudly shows off the money she made. As they posed for pictures, she continued holding the sign, calmly explaining her new “policy.”
Foreigners are sometimes overwhelmed by constant photo requests when travelling in India. The woman captioned her video, “Now we’re all happy. Indians get their photo with a foreigner, and foreigners aren’t tired because they’re paid for the selfie. How’s this solution?”
The video quickly went viral, with comments pouring in from amused viewers. Many praised the Russian woman’s ingenuity, with one user noting, “She knows Indians more than Indians.” Another joked, “India is the place for foreigners to make money.” A third commented, “You’ve hacked the system.”
