A hilarious Instagram reel by Bengaluru-based content creator Deesha Umesh has gone viral for its satirical take on language politics and cultural stereotypes in India’s tech capital. The video, titled “What North Indians Think Bangaloreans Do Every Day”, features Deesha playing a fictionalized version of a local who dramatically changes her behavior based on the language spoken—offering mangoes for ₹50 in Kannada and ₹500 in Hindi.
 
1. What’s in the Reel?
  • Deesha portrays a Bangalorean caricature who is warm and helpful to Kannada speakers but cold and dismissive to those speaking Hindi.
  • In one scene, she plays a fruit vendor who quotes ₹50 for mangoes in Kannada, but ₹500 in Hindi, purely out of spite.
  • The reel also includes exaggerated scenarios involving WiFi passwords, restroom directions, and public interactions—all hinging on language use.
2. Who Is Deesha Umesh?
  • Deesha is a Gujarati-born, Bengaluru-raised doctor-turned-content creator.
  • She has over 230,000 followers on Instagram, where she posts comedy sketches, social commentary, and relatable urban humor.
  • Known for her fluent Kannada and sharp wit, Deesha uses satire to highlight real social dynamics in a lighthearted way.
3. Why It Went Viral
  • The reel struck a chord on Reddit and Instagram, racking up over 380,000 likes and thousands of comments.
  • While many praised her humor and delivery, others used the video to reflect on real-life tensions between Kannada and Hindi speakers in Bengaluru.
  • The video has reignited conversations around linguistic inclusivity, cultural pride, and the urban immigrant experience.
4. The Bigger Picture
  • Bengaluru has seen a rise in language-related debates, with some residents advocating for Kannada-first policies and others calling for greater linguistic tolerance.
  • Deesha’s video, while comedic, taps into this ongoing dialogue—using humor to bridge divides and spark reflection.
