Mumbai woman tests if her '6'5 Lithuanian boyfriend can survive Indian Railways'
India Today
A Mumbai woman shared a video of her 6'5 Lithuanian boyfriend's first Indian Railways sleeper class train journey in India, which left social media users amused.
A Mumbai woman’s documented and shared a video of her Lithuanian boyfriend's experience in an Indian Railways sleep class train, complete with cramped berths, moving coaches, and a generous dose of Indian sweets.
The video was posted on Instagram by Shanti Mudaliyar, who summed up the experience in her caption: “He fits emotionally. Physically? Debatable. Should I make him try more Indian train classes?”
Her clip opens with visuals of a moving train, accompanied by on-screen text that reads, “Testing if my 6'5 Lithuanian boyfriend can survive Indian Railways.”
Shanti then pans the camera towards her boyfriend and asks him how he’s feeling. Smiling unfazed, he responds, “Very good,” flashing a cheerful thumbs-up — a moment that many viewers found unexpectedly wholesome.
As the journey continues, the couple is seen sharing a small portion of gajar ka halwa, with another display text popping up: “Feed him Indian sweets so he forgets about the chaos.”
However, the real test arrives when the camera turns to the sleeper berth. Shanti films her boyfriend attempting to adjust his 6'5" frame into the narrow sleeping space. As he tries to sit upright, his head hits the roof of the train, and when he finally lies down, his legs visibly struggle to fit within the length of the seat.
