Viral Video: A foreign woman went viral for sharing a vlog on an Indian Railways train, however, the reason was rather negative. Taking to her social media handle, the woman seemingly took a dig at the train’s toilets, as the video showed a dirty western toilet. As soon as the clip went viral, it began to receive major backlash as netizens pointed out the ‘cheap’ ticket with which the woman was travelling, ‘explaining’ the less-hygienic toilet facility. Trolling her over her ‘high expectations’ despite paying less, many suggested names of a few expensive trains, where the situation would have been different.
The Indian Railways video, after being shared, pulled many reactions. Most people chastised the woman for showing the ‘half-truth’ and pointed out that she was travelling on a cheaper train, while the rest suggested using better train services with expensive train tickets.
The video was shared on Instagram, by the handle ‘Irina Moreno’. The post was captioned, “Western toilet on a train in India, 2nd class.” The video was shared a while back and pulled more than 49K likes from people.

Soon after the video went viral, the woman shared another video, where she showed a well-maintained toilet of an AC train.
Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “Poor Whites. Can't afford Vande Bharat tickets,” a user said. “I would request you when you next time visit my beautiful country, please bring some money to spend there. Otherwise, this is how will try to earn by defaming others. Travel by Vande Bharat, Shatabdi, or at least by express trains. You will see what we Indians travel in,” added another.
“Poor foreigners, please come with budget not hopes,” commented a third person. “She's sitting in 2nd class and hoping for a good washroom, just for info for those who don't know, in trains 2nd class and 2nd tier AC are different things don't think of them as the same, 2nd class is the worst and cheap class of the trains,” added another.
