Amidst the bustling aisles of a local market in Bengaluru, shoppers were left in stitches after stumbling upon an unlikely celebrity gracing the walls of a vegetable shop. The picture, featuring a wide-eyed woman frozen in what can only be described as a moment of shock or fury, took social media by storm a week ago.
The uproar began when X user @Niharika_rao, on a mission for fresh produce, found herself face to frame with the unexpected sight. Three photos captured the essence of the scene, showcasing a spectrum of emotions from the unsuspecting vegetable aficionado.
Among carts brimming with tomatoes, papayas, and watermelons, the picture-perfect moment featured the woman’s portrait hanging precariously near the tomato section. With a caption that echoed the sentiments of many, the user shared, “I am so glad I stepped out today.”

As the photo continues to garner likes, shares, and undoubtedly a few memes, one user wrote, “I need to hang this on my wall to stay productive.” Another added, “AFAIK There’s no story tbh, it’s to ward off evil eyes. This photo became a trend and is placed in many other shops too.” One more user said, “But who is this woman? She is seemingly successful in warding off evil, going by her popularity among the vendors in the locality?”
If this isn’t a ‘peak Bengaluru,’ moment then what is? Let us know in the comments.
