Comedian Vir Das recently asked quick commerce company Zepto to stop sending him notifications. Annoyed by the frequent alerts, Das took to social media to express his frustration.
He shared a screenshot of the notifications on Instagram, highlighting messages such as:
“Vir: I am thirsty” and “You’re like paneer.” In his post, he humorously commented, “I don’t care if you’re thirsty. Your eggplant needs to leave my mushroom button alone. I don’t want my choco filled. I am not your paneer. Stop,” with a caption that read “Zepto. Stop,” accompanied by a laughing emoji.
