A Mumbai-based Instagram influencer, known as ‘Spider-Man From Mumbai’, has taken his love for the web-slinger to a new level, and in the process, gained millions of views on his latest viral video. Donning his signature Spider-Man costume, he decided to engage in a rather unconventional stunt – begging for money at Kalyan station in Maharashtra.
The video, posted on his account, “Spider-Man From Mumbai” (handle: “shaddyman98”), quickly garnered nearly 3 million views. In it, the influencer sits on the floor of the bustling Kalyan station and asks passers-by for money. Some passengers, amused by the scene, stop to give him alms, adding a touch of quirky humor to the usual hustle and bustle of the station.
The video has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with users commenting on the influencer’s unique brand of entertainment. “Kalyan is not for beginners,” wrote one user, while another commented, “Mai live dekh rha tha …thode paise dene chaiye thee mai bhi viral hojata (I saw this live. I should have given him some money. Then, I would have gone viral as well).” Another user humorously pointed out, “Bhikaris be like ye Konsa new competitor aa gya (Beggar be like who’s this new rival in the market).” The reactions highlight the influencer’s ability to engage his audience with his unique and often hilarious antics.
This isn’t the influencer’s first foray into the world of viral videos. He boasts another video, lasting less than 10 seconds, that has racked up over 7.5 million views. In this video, he’s seen welding with a protective cover in front of his Spider-Man eyes. One of the comments, in true comedic fashion, suggested he was actually Iron-Man, not Spider-Man.
In yet another video that crossed a million views, the influencer shows off his dance moves to “Aaj ki Raat” from the Bollywood movie, Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank, a song featuring Tamannaah Bhatia. One user commented, “Bhai tu aaram se dance Kar Ham log duniya ko bacha lenge (You focus on your dancing, brother. We’ll save the world, meanwhile).”
The influencer, through his humorous and engaging content, has carved a niche for himself on Instagram, proving that even seemingly mundane tasks can be turned into viral sensations with a little creativity and humor.
