India was the response of almost majority of the people when they were asked the same question —shows a viral video — which has gained interesting responses from netizens. But the correct answer, is not India.
A YouTuber named Sumon Kais, posted the video on X, formerly Twitter.
“I don't know why people's are so confident here.....do you?” reads the video's caption, which has gone viral, gaining over three lakh views.
The video shows a person going around, asking people, what is the world's dirtiest country. He even promised 20 bucks to anyone who could come up with the right answer.
While majority of the respondents, without any hesitation, said that India was the dirtiest country in the world, one man had a way different response.
“Im worried that you might be a Trump associate…" said the man, dodging the question.
