She completes the appearance with sunglasses before heading to the grocery shop. The video slows down to capture the emotions of bystanders. People of all ages cast fascinated eyes at her unusual style. Even the cashier at the register is drawn to the lungi.
Instagram users had different reactions. One user said, "I'm not sure why folks in the comments are upset about a lungi-outfit. Balenciaga is essentially offering a towel as a skirt, priced at 925 USD."?
Another user commented, "We all need a grandma like that in our lives." A third person added, "Akka, you deserve a huge salute. I love it when you smile at last."
Valery published another video of herself walking about London with the same lungi, which elicited smiles and appreciation. In one encounter, a man asked about her origins, to which she replied, "South India."?
When asked if she was from Kerala, she revealed her Tamil origin. A visitor wrote, "Tamilans rocks, Americans shocks," and another stated, "Stunning."
