“The video shows a real incident of a shopkeeper crying and holding a customer’s feet after the customer leaves without buying anything.”
What FACTLY found
The video does not depict a real incident. It is a scripted comedy created for entertainment by two shop owners, Kannu Dutta and Simran Gambhir, based in Premnagar, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, and was posted on their Instagram handle @carry_wear_by_besties_ks. They later shared a clarification video confirming that the clip is staged and not a real event.
