Watch Viral Video: Pune Grandpa’s Witty Metro Reply Wins the Internet
The internet is buzzing with laughter over a viral video of a Pune grandfather giving a classic ‘Puneri’ response when asked about his metro ride experience.
A video from the Pune Metro is currently going viral on social media for all the right reasons. The clip, shared by Instagram page @heypuneofficial, features an elderly man—fondly dubbed “Pune Grandpa”—who responds in true Puneri style when a youngster asks, “How do you feel traveling by metro?”
Without missing a beat, the grandpa replies, “Just sat down… come back later!” His deadpan delivery, combined with his trademark Puneri wit, has left netizens in splits.
The video perfectly captures the unique flavor of Pune’s local culture, often known for its dry humor, sharp comebacks, and candid attitude—commonly referred to as Puneri patya or “Pune-style sarcasm.” With the caption “Pune tithye kaay une… Aajoba Rocks” (Nothing lacking in Pune… Grandpa Rocks), the video has attracted over 27,000 likes and a flood of comments from amused viewers.
Users have flooded the comments section with appreciation, calling the grandpa the “OG Punekar” and applauding his comic timing. One user wrote, “This is peak Pune energy!” while another said, “Only a Puneri grandpa can deliver such a reply with a straight face!”
From young metro commuters to longtime Punekars, the video is striking a chord with all ages, turning this brief exchange into a cultural moment that’s being celebrated across social media.
In a digital world filled with rehearsed content, this unscripted gem reminds everyone why Pune’s brand of humor continues to charm—and occasionally confuse—the rest of the country.
