‘I'm ready to fight': South Korean tourist brings masks to India after seeing dusty images online
An Indian content creator has sparked online conversation after sharing a video with his South Korean friend, who brought multiple masks and old clothes during a trip to India — all because of what he saw on Google Images back home. A tourist from South Korea arrived in India carrying masks after coming across images depicting heavy dust and pollution during an online search.(Instagram/kaash_chaudhary) (Also read: Seoul train inferno: Man sets fire to moving subway over divorce, passengers flee in panic in viral video) The Instagram video, shared by user Akash Chaudhary, captures a candid moment between the two as they enjoy local food somewhere in India. In the clip, Chaudhary explains, 'My friend from South Korea brought so many masks and old clothes with him to India.' The reason, he reveals, is rooted in what the Korean traveller saw online before his visit. "Google images show this image of India" According to Chaudhary, his friend searched for 'Indo' on Google while still in South Korea, and the search results showed images dominated by dust and pollution. The video even shows the Korean national scrolling through those very images on his phone, supporting his claim. Reacting to the unexpected preparedness, Chaudhary asks him, 'That's why you bring so many masks?' With a quick wit and humour, the South Korean man replies, 'I'm ready to fight.' Watch the clip here: The reel was posted with the caption, 'Google Images show this Image of India in South Korea,' and has since gone viral, racking up more than 2.6 million views. Mixed reactions pour in The video has triggered several reactions from users, with many divided over whether to laugh, feel concerned, or defend India's global image. One user wrote, 'This is hilarious but also quite sad. We seriously need to work on how the world sees us.' Another commented, 'Masks for India? It's not that bad everywhere. Come to the mountains, bro.' A viewer said, 'This shows how stereotypes shape perception. Not cool.' Another added, 'Google isn't lying. We all know how bad pollution can get in some cities.' One user chimed in, 'He came prepared like he's going to war, not a holiday,' while another wrote, 'I'd do the same if I saw those images before travelling.' Some defended the country, saying, 'India is so much more than what Google shows. Sad he didn't look beyond the images.'

Kathal Director Yashowardhan Is 'Baffled' After National Award Win: 'I'm Pinching Myself'
Last Updated: Kathal director Yashowardhan Mishra and producer Guneet Monga are over the moon after their 2023 movie was declared the best Hindi film at the 71st National Awards. Kathal director Yashowardhan Mishra is elated that his 2023 movie has won the Best Hindi Film National Award. Soon after the announcement was made on Friday evening, Mishra spoke to News18 Showsha exclusively and revealed that it was Guneet Monga, the producer of the film, who told him about the big win. 'I got a call from my producers – Gurmeet Monga – they informed me about it. They were equally baffled as much as I am. I can't believe it right now. I think it is an incredible honour to be recognised at the national level, at the national award. It is like a dream for my debut film to win it. I am pinching myself," the director told us. Further expressing his gratitude, Mishra added, 'One does not anticipate these kinds of things; one just does. We just do our best and we hope to tell a story with a lot of genuine affection and hope that it connects with an audience. That is something that thankfully we received with Kathal. People loved it and I was not expecting an award. We just made a film that everybody could watch and enjoy and perhaps spark a conversation with. This award just feels like a cherry on top and it just reaffirms our belief in what we do in the kind of stories that we choose to tell." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Guneet Monga Kapoor (@guneetmonga) Asking about his conversation with Guneet Monga after the national award win, the director shared, 'Oh my God, she is over the moon. We were just talking about it, we need to hold each other's hands right now and hug each other. This is just so unbelievable. I can only thank her for her trust in a newcomer like me." 'It feels incredibly heartening. It was a long journey, which feels slightly validated today," he concluded. Released in May 2023, Kathal stars Sanya Malhotra in the lead. It revolves around a local politician who gets disheartened after a jackfruit from his lawn goes missing. He then appoints two police officials to solve this weird case of theft.
