This unique approach prompted many onlookers to jokingly question the paratha's fate, with one popular food delivery platform, Swiggy, chiming in with a humorous remark, "paratha be like: mujhe kyu toda??? [Why did you break me?]".

The video quickly gained traction, eliciting a plethora of reactions from Instagram users. Comments ranged from light-hearted observations such as, "Is he making paratha or washing clothes?" to playful jabs like, “Brother wanted to be a Dhobi (laundry worker), but his father made him open a food stall”.

Others quipped about the vendor's technique, with remarks like, “Beating that like it owes him money” and “No one will say anything, brother used to work in laundry earlier”.

This isn't the first time street vendors have garnered attention for their unique skills. Not long ago, a video shared by Anand Mahindra showcased another individual's remarkable talent in mixing drinks, further highlighting the widespread appreciation for such talents within the community.
