The now viral video has generated a lot of comments from social media users.
Has a young person ever called you “aunt” or “uncle”? Most of us would ask them not to call us by that term and instead use ‘Didi’ or ‘Bhaiya’. In a similar incident that took place on a Mumbai Local train, a man was addressed as ‘uncle’ by a co-passenger, who wanted to get off the train at the next station. His hilarious response to this has now gone viral on the internet.
In the now viral video, a man is seen sitting near the door of a local train in Mumbai. Another man, who is not seen in the video, asks him to move and let other passengers get off at the next station. The passenger says in the video: ‘Chalo uncle Borivali aagaya khade hoke baith jana wapas (Okay uncle, the next station is Borivali, you have to get up and then sit down). However, he received no response from the man. He then repeated his statement and said:Hello Uncle, Khade Hoke Baith Jao Wapas (Stand up for a moment and then sit down again).” To this the man responds wittily and says: “Kisko bula raha hai wahi nahi samajh aaraha (I don’t understand who you are addressing).” The passenger added: “Uncle Baitha Kaun Hai (Who is the uncle sitting here?)” In a funny and quirky way, with a straight face, the man says: “Uncle Kaun Hai? (Who’s the uncle here?)”

“Perfect jaw “uncle kon hai,” said one user.
“You can’t call anyone uncle/aunt, anywhere; it’s an insult! Some people should seriously learn ‘general’ etiquette!” one user commented.
A third person added: “His response was apt. Without being rude, he made it clear. In addition, I still feel that we should address each other, not by uncle/aunt, just because they are gray or have no hair. They may be young at heart.”
“Fantastic,” said one user.
“Hilarious,” one person added.
Another commented: “Mumbai spirit.”
