Movies like Eat, Pray, Love and The Hundred-Foot Journey romanticised Indian culture by showcasing the vibrant festivals and food culture. While several tourists embraced Indian culture and food, deciding to even settle here, popular British influencer Sam Pepper’s experience in India wasn’t pleasant and has left him terrified. Pepper suffered severe digestive issues after drinking “Indian street milk”.
In a video he posted on Instagram and YouTube, titled “I Drank Indian Street Milk and ended up in Hospital,” Pepper shared that he allegedly tried “bhang,” which eventually led to him landing in a hospital. His health got worse when he ended up vomiting blood. He described his puke first turning green from yellow, and then completely red. In the video, Pepper got experimental and tried “holy” things on an Indian street that possibly triggered digestive issues.
In the video, Pepper is seen lying in his hospital bed, in pain, going through an emotional breakdown. He claimed that the nurses at the hospital left his IV drip valve loose, which let the blood flow out.
“In India, everyone just wants to look and stare at you because they have not seen a foreigner before. So I’ve got people coming into my hotel room asking for selfies. Just coming in pretending to do random jobs just to look at me dying in my bed,” Pepper said in the video.
Towards the end of the video, Pepper shared he flew to Bangkok to get himself treated.

The video caused a stir on social media, gaining attention from numerous users. A user commented, “Damn hope there isn’t any permanent damage. What a nightmare.” Another user wrote, “Sam I don’t even know how your brain allowed you to try anything there how did you even mentally manage to do that.”
“Those holy rituals did a number on cleansing you bro. Feel better man,” a third user commented.
