‘Speak Haryanvi': Man Confronts Marathi Worker, But His Unexpected Response Wins Hearts
The video which was posted on social media platform Instagram on Wednesday, has since garnered over 8,23,000 views and 55,000 likes.
As language-related tensions simmer in parts of Maharashtra, a video from Haryana is drawing widespread attention online—this time for its message of unity and inclusiveness. The video, shared by a man named Manu Sharma, has gone viral on social media, earning praise for its surprising and heartwarming twist.
The video starts to play with Sharma approaching a group of field workers, asking if any of them belong to Maharashtra. Thereafter, a man responds, saying he hails from Nashik and starts walking towards Sharma. As the man comes near Sharma, he then asks him to speak in Haryanvi language.
In response, the worker politely says he cannot speak the language. Initially, Sharma appears to challenge him saying, 'How can you work in Haryana without knowing the local language?" but just as the exchange seems to take a confrontational turn, Sharma breaks into a smile and replies warmly.
'It's okay. If you don't work here, who else will?" Sharma said making the situation lighter. He adds, 'Do whatever you want; you're living in India. It's your country," ending the video with a clear message of unity in diversity.
The video which was posted on social media platform Instagram on Wednesday, has since garnered over 8,23,000 views and 55,000 likes, sparking an emotional response from viewers.
Several netizens praised Sharma for promoting linguistic and cultural harmony in a country as diverse as India.
'Thanks to sharing beautiful msg to Indians," one user commented.
'This is how it should be done bina violence ke kitna achha msg diya salute to you sir," another used wrote.
However, the video has not escaped scrutiny. Some viewers questioned its authenticity, claiming the conversation appeared scripted. One comment pointed out, 'This is a false video. Marathi people say 'Nashik', not 'Nashik' the way it's pronounced in the clip."

Kirron Kher says Anupam Kher feels bad when she doesn't appreciate his work, advises son Sikandar Kher to 'be more like Anupam': 'Sikandar is a laat saheb...'
Veteran actor Kirron Kher is known for her open and honest personality, both on and off screen. In a recent interview, she revealed that she never praises her family's work unless it truly impresses her, even if that means hurting feelings at home. 'I am not one of those people who appreciates family members just like that. My husband feels bad about it,' she told News18, admitting she can't pretend to like every film Anupam Kher has done. 'It shows on my face,' she laughed, recalling how she didn't enjoy Sikandar's performance in Tigmanshu Dhulia's Milan Talkies. Advice to Sikandar: 'Be more like Anupam' Kirron shared that she often urges her son to be less selective with projects. While Sikandar is 'very particular' about his work, she feels he needs to take on more roles, just as Anupam did during his career's peak. 'Anupam has done all the films because he had to earn money and take care of the house and the family. Sikandar is a laat saheb... but things don't work that way,' she pointed out. Kirron acknowledged she had the 'luxury of choice' because Anupam bore the financial responsibility, a privilege she believes Sikandar cannot afford if he wants to keep working consistently. Kirron Kher drops a picture from a lunch date with her husband Anupam Kher; fans say 'You both are looking cute' Anupam Kher on the 'void' of not having children Married since 1985, Kirron and Anupam Kher do not have children together. Sikandar is Kirron's son from her first marriage to Gautam Berry, and was four years old when Anupam entered his life. Speaking on Raj Shamani's podcast, Anupam admitted feeling a 'void' over not having biological children, revealing that Kirron 'could not conceive' and later faced complications when she did. 'I was too busy making it big,' he said, but added that Sikandar 'is still fine for me,' emphasising their strong bond despite the circumstances.
