A video is going viral showing a woman asking viewers to send one or two rupees to buy an iPhone 17 Max Pro for her birthday. She explained that small contributions from many people could help her achieve her wish.
Social media is full of talent, from singing and dancing to painting and cooking, where people earn respect and money. Yet, some use it for attention by doing strange stunts, often prioritising views over genuine skill.
Many young people see the latest iPhone as a status symbol. This obsession drives them to extreme lengths—saving money, asking for help online, or skipping essentials—just to own the newest model and fit in with peers.
The video is amusing but raises concerns. Asking for money like this shows how some misuse social media, ignoring talent and hard work. It highlights worrying trends in the younger generation’s approach to success.
On a positive note, the concept shows how small contributions can achieve big goals. If used wisely, social media can fund education, health, or charity, turning collective support into meaningful and inspiring outcomes.
I’ve seen beggars before, but this is the first time I’m seeing a beggar of this kind.pic.twitter.com/b0L74ChmTN
