Watch: Guy Dresses As Ghost, Walks Around With Candle & 'Gumnaam Hai Koi' Playing In Background
India witnessed a mini-Diwali celebration of sorts last night since PM Modi had appealed to the citizens across the country to light diyas and candles to show solidarity and unity in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Indians are known for their theatrics and a man in Bengaluru wanted to take things up a notch. Twitter is ablaze with this video, in which a man can be seen walking around his balcony, dressed up as a ghost.
The now-viral video was shared on Twitter by user @wack_a_noodle and it spread like wildfire on social media, within a few hours of it first being uploaded. In the video, you can see a man walking in his balcony, covered in a white cloth from head to toe, and to add some masala to his game, the song 'Gumnaam Hai Koi' from the 1965 film Gumnaaam is playing in the background.
