A United States-based content creator, currently travelling in India, was left amazed after an unexpected encounter with an auto-rickshaw driver fluent in French. The light-hearted moment quickly went viral.
In the video, the creator, Jay, casually mentioned that he spoke two languages. “I speak two languages, French and English,” he said. Much to his surprise, the auto-rickshaw driver instantly responded in French, asking, “Do you speak French?”
The sudden switch in language left Jay momentarily confused. The auto-rickshaw driver then repeated the question in simpler terms, prompting a wave of laughter from Jay as he processed what had just happened. Throughout the video, Jay can be seen laughing in disbelief at the unexpected turn of events.
“When Your Driver Speaks French in India,” the caption read.

The video quickly gained traction, prompting a flurry of reactions. “Bro he knows more languages than you,” a user wrote. “Bro scanned him and activated the language,” another user commented. “It took him five seconds to download the language,” a third user reacted.
“Bro connected VPN,” a fourth user said.
In another incident that occurred in August, a picture capturing Bengaluru’s tech spirit took over the Internet. The viral image showed an auto-rickshaw driver streaming a Naval Ravikant podcast on a mini screen installed above his windshield while riding through the traffic.
In a contrasting incident, a Bengaluru auto-rickshaw driver sparked backlash after she dropped a woman mid-way before the ride ended, after questioning her life choices.
