First, she steps into a mobile store where she is greeted by the shopkeeper. She also asks a woman to click a selfie with them and she happily obliges. The Shopkeepers treated well and not rude. Then they went to a grocery store where some people straight away refuse to help the girls and give them disgusted looks.

Later the old ladies reacted with kindness and smiles to them. At a jewelry store, the girls meet a woman who laughs and talks with them but at the flea market, a woman hides her child from the girls and another screams rudely when they ask for help.

Deepika says at the end of the video, “What I have learned through the day is that some things are right in front of your eyes but you don’t realize it. It’s important to change your perspective,” she says.
