When people live abroad, they find different ways to connect to their roots and culture. It's surprising how a basic item of clothing can reveal our identities and backgrounds. Recently, a woman flaunted her Tamil heritage by strolling about London in a lungi, an outfit that is well-known in south India. The woman, Valery, took to Instagram to share a video where many people were surprised to see her in such an attire.
The video begins with her skillfully wrapping a lungi around herself and wearing it with a basic t-shirt. The text in the short clip reads, "Wearing lungi in London." She completes her look with sunglasses before heading to the grocery shop. The video slows down to capture the emotions of the customers at the store. People of all ages look fascinated by her unusual style. Further in the clip, she is seen walking across the streets while bystanders look at her in surprise.
The Telegu song in the background "Pushpa Pushpa" from the 2021 movie 'Pusha: The Rise' serves as a great addition to the fun clip.
