In a recent viral video, Indian YouTuber Passenger Paramvir addressed a Chinese woman’s critical comments about Indian food, resulting in a humorous yet enlightening exchange that has captured the internet’s attention. The clip features Paramvir engaging with the woman, who expresses her distaste for Indian cuisine, labeling it “very dirty.”
During their conversation, Paramvir takes the opportunity to critique Chinese food, prompting the woman to respond by showcasing a series of alarming street food videos from India on her phone. These videos included questionable food preparation methods, such as a man making dough balls with his armpits and another washing his hands over a cooking pan. As she scrolls through these clips, she challenges Paramvir’s assertion of Indian food’s superiority, stating, “The videos I have seen show that Indian food is very dirty.”

Despite the overwhelming evidence presented, Paramvir maintains a light-hearted demeanor. “Trust me, you won’t find any of this on the street,” he assures her, emphasizing that such instances are not reflective of the true culinary experience in India. He suggests that she visit a hygienic restaurant to better understand Indian cuisine.
To that end, Paramvir takes the woman to a local Indian restaurant, where they share a meal of dal makhni, shahi paneer, and naan. The video concludes with the woman tasting the food and exclaiming, “Yummy!” clearly enjoying the authentic flavors of India.
The video has garnered nearly a million views on X (formerly Twitter), with many praising Paramvir for his positive approach to countering negative stereotypes. One viewer remarked, “If they took bad, give them good. He changed her whole perspective towards India.” Another user added, “India definitely needs better PR! It’s unfortunate that some judge the entire cuisine based on a few videos.”
This exchange not only highlights cultural misunderstandings but also serves as a reminder of the power of open dialogue and culinary exploration in bridging gaps between cultures.
