A video of Vikrant Massey engaging in a verbal altercation with a cab driver over the surge in fare created a lot of buzz on the Internet. Well, it turns out that the clip, shared on Thursday, was part of an advertisement campaign for the ride-hailing app inDrive. Vikrant has been appointed “the brand ambassador for inDrive for a year-long advertising campaign,” reported news agency PTI (more on that later). In case you missed the ad, it opens to a cab driver recording a selfie video. He says, “Mera naam Ashish hai. Mai ek cab driver hu. Maine apne passenger ko unke location pe phuncha diya hai. Aur vo paise nahi de rahe hai. Behas baazi lar rahe hai ulta. Gaali galoch kar rahe hai [My name is Ashish. I am a cab driver. I have dropped my passenger to his destination but he is not ready to pay. He is arguing with me and using foul language.]”
Then, the driver slips to the camera and we get to see Vikrant Massey. After listening to the driver, the actor asks, “Gaali galoch kar rahe hai? Camera kyun nikal diya bhai? Dhamka rahe ho tum? Jayaz baat hi to kar rajha hu na mai? Yeh achanak se paise kaise badh gaye? Yeh nahi chalega. [Using foul language? Why are you recording this, buddy? Are you trying to threaten me? I am simply discussing the issue, right? How did the fare suddenly increase? This won't work.]”
The video was shared by a paparazzi page on Instagram. Check it out:
