A Bengaluru man’s recent chat with Blinkit customer care is breaking the internet and triggered a debate. Sharing the screenshot of the conversation, the man revealed that he threatened customer support to register a police complaint over the Hindi word ‘gaya’, which translates to ‘wound’ in Kannada.
“Blinkit sent a harmful notification and wished me “Gaya,” which means “wound” in Kannada. I told them, if I received one more threatening notification, I would lodge a police complaint. After that they stopped sending nonsense in alien languages. That’s how we need to deal!” the man wrote on X.
Updating about the conversation further, the man claimed that Blinkit only sent English notifications for over a month. “After this complaint, I observed over a month that they are now sending only English notifications. No more alien language nonsense. If more people complain, they will introduce Kannada as well,” he added.

Soon after the post caught the internet’s attention, several users reacted to it leading to a debate. Reacting to the incident, a user wrote, “Only shows that people need to get jobs and have a life. You could have simply closed notifications. Instead you sit and think of every situation where we can do a language angle.” Another user commented, “Get a life man ,how do you find time to do all this crap whole day i have no idea.”
“Well that text is definitely not in Kannada. It’s in Hindi and I don’t know why you are finding Kannada words in Hindi sentence,” a third user reacted. “Why can’t you type your responses to them in Kannada?” another user wrote.
