The video has been seen over one lakh times and efficiently makes the point about how the mainland knows so little about the North-East. The comments were mostly in agreement with what the video conveyed.
"I'm from Guwahati but I pretty much grew up in Delhi NCR for the entire duration of my teenage years. I've seen and felt it all," recalled a YouTuber.
"I think the video is just meant for humour. And if it makes u someone realize that how it feels to be in the receiving end that is a bonus," wrote another.
Another comment said, "U have portrayed the situation in a very stern yet benign way..i loved it...i hope the racial rants stop...and the fact that how some people try to stereotype the northeast is very very unfair..."
