About a month ago, Indian YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra sparked an outrage and literally brought people of two countries together with a video she recorded on China's bullet train and uploaded on her YouTube channel. The old video recently went viral again due to backlash and criticism for the rude comments, tone-deaf statements and inappropriate behaviour. In the video, Jyoti uses racist terms like ‘Cheeni bhai;’ films people without their consent, travels on a bus without a ticket, and blames everything on the language barrier. Her behaviour did not go unnoticed. Many netizens called her out for her rude and inappropriate actions, criticising her for lacking etiquette. Many people mentioned that her behaviour spoiled the reputation of Indians abroad, emphasising that travellers represent their country and should maintain a respectful attitude at all times. In response to the backlash, Jyoti issued a statement and an apology comment on her video, acknowledging the criticism she received. In her comment, she says, “Thank you for your feedback. I've travelled to several Asian countries and have always had positive experiences. I believe the recent misunderstanding was due to a language barrier and miscommunication. I didn't mean to hurt anyone's sentiments, and I will take care in the future. We keep a harmonious relationship as neighbours and appreciate your understanding. I’m committed to improve our communication in future videos.” View her pinned comment below. Mushfiqur Rahim Issues Apology After his Rude Behaviour on the Field Against Nasum Ahmed During Bangabandhu T20 Cup (View Post).
