He's not the only Indian celebrity who has hopped on the bandwagon with the trend.

The meme gained traction in India after producer Yashraj Mukhate made a remix of it. He previously made one on a now infamous line from Bigg Boss: “Tumhara kutta Tommy, humara kutta kutta”. That video has a whopping 45 million views on his YouTube channel.

The "pawri" video had 19 million views when this story was published.
