A viral Instagram video parodying how some foreigners behave after a brief trip to India is drawing widespread attention and prompting a broader conversation about cultural stereotypes and superficial travel narratives.
The clip, posted by US-based content creators Shiv and Liz, shows Liz acting as a foreign tourist who has just returned from India. When asked about her trip, she says she spent only two days in Goa but begins speaking with exaggerated familiarity about Indian culture.

She orders a “chai tea latte,” repeats clichés about yoga and spirituality, and offers unsolicited advice about visiting India.
The exchange becomes ironic when she urges Shiv to explore India, and he replies, “I am Indian.” He eventually walks away, muttering in Hindi, “Pagal hi ho gye hai. Pata nahi kya kya karte rehte hai” (They have all gone mad. I don’t know what they keep doing).
Shiv and Liz noted in the caption that the sketch is “based on true events,” adding that they often encounter similar interactions. The satire struck a chord with viewers, particularly NRIs, who described the portrayal as accurate and humorous.
One user commented, “Aahhh yes, the enlightened ones… who treat spirituality as a holiday package plan!” Another wrote, “Guys seriously, cannot stop laughing.”
A viewer pointed out, “2 days in Goa?? For sure only in the party place, not even in the backside.” A user from Brazil added, “We have many enlightened namaste people like this girl down here.”
The video’s popularity comes at a time when conversations about how foreigners interpret India are already trending online.
Earlier this month, another widely shared post featured a foreign traveler urging viewers not to judge Indian customs through Western norms, describing practices such as honking or eating with hands as cultural differences rather than flaws. Her video was praised for presenting a more grounded view and challenging reductive stereotypes.
