Bengaluru Viral Video: Man Uses Porsche Car To Fill Pothole, Sparks Mixed Reactions
A man in Bengaluru has gone viral for using his luxury car in an unconventional attempt to highlight the city’s pothole problem. In a video shared on Instagram, Akhil Yadav is seen stopping his red Porsche near a damaged stretch of road and doing something unexpected.
The clip shows him pouring cement and water directly onto the car’s bonnet and mixing it into a paste with a trowel. He then scoops the mixture off the surface and uses it to fill the pothole in front of him. The act appears shocking at first, as it looks like he is risking damage to the expensive vehicle.
However, the twist comes moments later. Yadav peels off a transparent Paint Protection Film (PPF) from the bonnet, revealing that the car’s original paint remains untouched.
Message behind the act
In the caption, Yadav explained that the stunt was meant to send a broader message about civic responsibility. He wrote that in a densely populated country like India, maintaining public spaces cannot be left to the government alone. While the video demonstrates the durability of Paint Protection Film, it also aims to encourage individuals to take responsibility for their surroundings.
Mixed reactions online
The video quickly drew attention on social media, with users sharing varied opinions. Some praised the creativity and intent behind the act, calling it a symbolic effort to address a real issue. Others, however, questioned whether it was more of a promotional stunt than genuine social work.
A few users also pointed out the practicality of the solution, wondering whether such a temporary fix would last on a busy road. Meanwhile, many couldn’t help but comment on the car itself, noting that only someone with a Porsche would attempt such a demonstration.
