A Japanese content creator, 'Dive into Japan' on Instagram, recently posted a reel of guessing the age of an Indian politician by merely looking at her photograph. Whose age was he guessing? He referred to a picture of West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and tried pointing out at her age.
The man clearly had no idea who Mamata Banerjee was, so there was no chance of him cheating or knowing her age beforehand. As he looked at her picture, he first wondered whether she was an actress. He called her "Beautiful" even before attempting to guess her age.
"Very beautiful. Very beautiful. She is actress or something?", he questioned. The app replied, "No, she is not". He was in disbelief that the 'beautiful' woman was not a cine star.
How old is Mamata Banerjee? This man says "22...28"
Focusing on his task, he took a wild guess and said, "Twenty...two (22)". But soon, he corrected expressing that Mamata looked like she was 28.
"Maybe this is very tricky question. I think she looks 22 but maybe she is more older. 28 is answer. Yes, 28", the influencer said on camera, only to be surprised to know her real age.
