A viral video showcasing a roadside food seller’s monthly earnings has sparked widespread conversation online about traditional job expectations versus street-side entrepreneurship. In an Instagram clip, a digital content creator visits a food stall offering popular snacks. Expecting a modest figure, she is shocked to discover the vendor earns roughly ₹1.5 lakh every month. Reacting with a mix of surprise and self-deprecating humour, she candidly admits her own salary isn’t even worth mentioning.

Thakur claimed that in the first five hours, he sold about 200 plates and by the end of the day, the amount rose to 350 plates. He sold ₹21,000 worth of instant noodles. However, considering his expenses, his profit would have been less than the total amount he earned.
