The clip began with the caption, “Rapido bike book karletihoon, kya hi hojaayega (I’ll just book a Rapido bike, what could possibly go wrong),” followed by, “Hogaya (Well, this happened).”
She then posted screenshots of a WhatsApp conversation allegedly started by the driver who dropped her off. In the messages, the man wrote, “Pehchaana nahi? Abhitoh drop karke aaya hoon (Didn’t recognise me? I just dropped you).” When Anushka asked if he was the Rapido rider, he confirmed and complimented her appearance, saying she looked “cute” and “traditional mein achchi lag rahi thi (you looked nice in traditional clothes).”
