'We Indians Use These as Toilet Footwear': Video Shows Saudi Arabia Selling Hawai Chappal at 1 Lakh

You have surely heard the Hindi proverb that says, “Ghar ki murgi daal barabar,” that means you don’t care about things which are either already yours or are easily accessible. And a recent viral video is claiming it right, where the normal Hawai chappal which the Indian public wear daily is being sold for huge prices.

The video shows this footwear placed in a glass counter while wearing gloves in his hands. The store representative shows the Hawai chappal which is being priced at more than lakh rupees, which left the netizens in questions. The video opens up with the store person taking out the slippers from the glass counter and putting them on the table, displaying it to the customers. The price tag was added with the footwear and 4,500 Riyals was written on it, and that calculates to one lakh INR.

Check out the viral video:

X user Rishi Bhagree who often shares these videos added a caption that reads, “We Indians use these sandals as toilet footwear.”

The text in the video reads, “Saudi Arabia: Trendy Sandals For 4,500 Riyals,” and was shared on X. It has garnered over 98 lakh views and has almost 10,000 likes.

In the video the store person also describes the benefits of the footwear, by showing its grip, flexibility, comfortable build, sleek design and other things. Although the video was mute but it can be understood with the actions. But this whole act didn’t impress the Indian netizens.

Instead people in the comment section shared some interesting takes.
