Mumbai's Iconic Taj Hotel Was Built By…‘Aurangzeb? No, Shah Jahan. He Even Cut Hands'
The first person who undertook the quiz told the digital creator that it was the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb who built the Taj Hotel in Mumbai. Who built Mumbai's 120-year-old Taj Hotel? That was the question asked by a digital creator to people in the City of Dreams. But little did he know that the video, made in the format of a fun quiz, would blow up into a viral meme, all thanks to the lack of general knowledge and history among the younger generation. In the clip, posted on Instagram, the creator asked some passersby to guess the person who built the state-of-the-art, five-star marvel, only to receive some of the most impossible answers. The first person who undertook the quiz told the creator that it was the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb who built the Taj Hotel. The next person gave a more absurd answer. As per the third and last individual, the Taj Hotel was built by Shah Jahan. All of the answers were wrong. Now for the correct answer: Mumbai's Taj Hotel was built by industrialist Jamsetji Tata. It opened its doors to tourists in 1903. The side note read, 'Taj Hotels Quiz Chaos: From Aurangzeb to Shah Jahan. A fun and bizarre street quiz moment where one guesses Aurangzeb. This mix of overconfidence and wild guesses had everyone laughing. And yes—Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in Agra (not Mumbai!), and no, did not build it. Just a reminder: Confidence ≠ correctness. Social Media Users React The post was flooded with reactions. 'Scripted or not, you are good at roasting Gen Z," lauded a user. 'Being a part of the Tata Group, I can't decide whether to laugh or get angry at them," read an honest comment. 'JRD TATA must be very sad today," noted one person playfully. 'Aurangzeb ne foundation work kia, Shah Jahan mei walls and pillars dala nei paint and interiors karwaya. (Aurangzeb did the foundation work, Shah Jahan built the walls and pillars got the painting and interiors done)," wrote another humorously. 'This has to be scripted!! Please, please, please," hoped an individual. 'Aare itna confidence? Kaise? (So much confidence? How?)" wondered if someone else. 'Welcome to the bright generation of INDIA," read a sarcastic remark.
