I expect you not to use them firstly. Second I expect to be (sic) credited in the video and the description and the credits. It’s non-negotiable.

Another added, “Four story rant is crazy.” A third joined, “It’s the stupidest idea. So many people have made careers imitating people and copying them, he is not even doing that. How will he give credit in the middle? People will remember you and say it themselves and that’s your achievement that the words remind them of you. Asking credit for this is just like off.” A fourth commented, “This has got to be the wildest thing I’ve ever seen.” Mallika Dua is an Indian comedian, actress, and writer who went viral with her videos, which portrayed how some people reacted while in Delhi’s Sarojini Nagar.
