English hamari samaj me barobar nahi aati sirji (Sir, please ask Jr Bachchan to speak in Hindi. I don’t understand English very well Sir).” The person wrote this in Hindi but used the English alphabet.

What a viewpoint you have! Amazing! You tell him to speak in Hindi, but you write in English letters!)” accompanied by a laughing emoji.
