Indian YouTuber Sourav Joshi has built his entire career by posting videos online, sharing his life with his family and friends with the world. At 26, he has amassed a fortune through consistency and authenticity. However, his journey has not been without backlash.
A few months ago, he faced major criticism during his wedding to wife Avantika for clips that went viral, showing him continuing his day as his wife fell. Now, Joshi and his younger brother Sahil are facing flak online for sharing a vlog where a family came to their house to discuss a marriage prospect with Sahil.
The Controversial Vlog
Titled "Ladki Wale Sahil Ko Dekhne Aaye," the vlog shows the entire family preparing to welcome the visiting family. What could have been a normal vlog turned controversial when the woman named Divyankriti and Sahil began talking. He asked her, "Aapka koi bf toh nahi tha na past mein?" To which the woman replied that she would talk to him about this personally.
Later in the video, he offered her tea while saying, "Abhi mai de raha hu phir toh aapko hi banani hai." Elsewhere, the woman also asked the family if she could wear clothes of her choice, to which they agreed. In the end, Sahil refused to get married at all, leading to an argument with his mother, who wanted him to tie the knot.
Social Media Reactions
Numerous moments in the video shocked and disappointed netizens online.
