The vlogger, with Instagram handle akfoodvlogg, in a conversation with Kuwaiti podcaster Taiyab Fakhruddhn, claimed that Dolly, who now has a manager, charges Rs 5 lakh for events and demands four or five-star hotels for himself and his team.

“By the way, I happened to call Dolly Chaiwala because I wanted to call him to Kuwait. But, the guy has so many demands and I started just questioning my whole existence,” the vlogger says in the video.

“I was like, dude! Are you serious? Do you know how much this guy charges Dolly Chaiwala? 2000 dinars so Rs 5 lakh. This is roughly around 2,000 or 2,500 KD. That’s not it. 2,500 KD. Plus one person will come with him. 4 or 5-star hotel booking. He wasn’t talking to me, his manager was talking to me. He has a manager and this is for one day,” he said in the podcast.

“He thought since Dolly is an Indian, he can exploit him. I mean asking for 4-5 star hotel is not even a demand, it’s basic courtesy when you invite someone from their country,” a third user wrote. “Educated corporate guys crying in corner,” commented another user.
