Kolkata Man Takes On ‘24 Hours Begging Challenge,’ Shocks With Earnings! Viral Video
In the ever-evolving world of content creation, influencers often go to extraordinary lengths for their audience. Instagram vlogger Pantha Deb recently stirred up a storm with his unconventional " 24 hours begging challenge ." The creator ventured onto the streets of Kolkata, posing as a beggar, to see how much he could earn in a single day.
Dressed in a torn T-shirt and jeans, Pantha sat under a bridge with a bowl in hand, capturing reactions from passers-by. While some spared him loose change, others ignored him entirely. At the end of the day, Pantha gave all the money he earned to an elderly homeless woman, sparking a mix of reactions online.
Social media was sharply divided. Critics dismissed the act as attention-seeking, with one user sarcastically calling it a "New startup idea." Another quipped, "Why don’t you do something useful with your time” But there was no shortage of praise either, with comments like “Ending got me. Well done,” commending his kind gesture.
With over 2,500 followers and 180 posts showcasing pranks and social experiments, Pantha Deb isn’t new to controversy. This latest stunt, however, raises questions about the fine line between creativity and clout-chasing, leaving audiences debating the ethics of such experiments.
