Viral Video: A fun and lighthearted video by Jaipur-based content creator Vishi is making waves on social media. In the clip, she hits the streets with a simple question that surprisingly left many people puzzled-“What is the Hindi word for police?”
Though the term 'police' is commonly used in daily life, most people seemed unsure of its actual Hindi translation. Vishi asked the question to several passersby, and their responses were a mix of confusion and creativity. Answers like ‘thanedaar,’ ‘chowkidar,’ and even ‘prashasan’ popped up, showing just how tricky the question turned out to be for many. Some people even openly admitted they didn’t know the answer at all.
The video, shared on Vishi's Instagram account ‘vishivlog’, quickly went viral for its humorous and relatable content. The caption simply read, “What is police called in Hindi?”, prompting hundreds of viewers to share their own guesses in the comments. Many were amused by the unexpected difficulty of such a basic question and praised Vishi’s unique approach to engaging content.

The video, shared some time ago, has already garnered a whopping 30.5 million views. While many users correctly guessed the Hindi word for 'police' in the comments, others responded with humorous takes and playful guesses. For those wondering, the correct Hindi terms for ‘police’ include ‘Aarakshak,’ ‘Rakshak,’ or ‘Rajkiya Jan Rakshak.’
The comment section was filled with a mix of genuine and funny responses. One user wrote, “Aarakshi ya Aarakshak.” Another added, “Public officer for legal investigation and criminal emergency.” A third user responded, “Rajkiya Janrakshak.”
However, the jokes soon started pouring in. “Police are called reservoir in Hindi,” said one.
