The footage opened showing the robot, dressed in a traditional saree, performing the greeting repeatedly, initially impressing the man and later leaving him baffled. The man appeared somewhat frustrated with it after it continuously greeted him. Despite he reciprocating 'Namaste' to it, the robot, trained to engage in the gesture, repeated the act.
As the man noticed the robot not stopping to greet him, he stood there for a second staring at it. He placed his fist on his waist and questioned what was wrong with the saree-clad lady.
The man's reaction resulted in much amusement for the onlookers. As his reactions, ranging from surprise to frustration, got filmed, netizens shared it across social media platforms. They added a comical music to its background and treated the clip as a hilarious meme.
People posted the video with several captions. While one titled the video "Power of 180 ml", reflecting on how things can become after a sip of alcohol, others wrote "AI will be AI" recreating the popular tagline "Men will be men".
