On the popular social media platform X, a user named VagaBond shared a post comparing the wealth of Gautam Adani, 62, with a net worth of $70 billion, and George Soros, 94, with a net worth of $8.5 billion. The post argued that Soros posed no threat to India’s stability, adding that “Apparently, as per the looney RW, we ARE real fools.”
Billore responded to this post with a cryptic comment: “Hajaro litre doodh ko faadne mai ek nimbu ka boond kaafi hai,” which translates to “A drop of lemon is enough to curdle thousands of liters of milk.”
His metaphorical statement has drawn considerable attention, with many users intrigued by his choice of words.
Yes !!

This selfie, which was shared months ago, has reignited conversations, especially as the Adani controversy dominates headlines.
Billore’s image with Adani has now become a focal point, eliciting varied reactions from social media users.
One user on X commented, “Bhai Soros ke saath bhi selfie lelo” (“Bro, take a selfie with Soros too”), while another added, “Epic! Khod ke nikala, ye point valid” (“Epic! You dug this out, this point is valid”). Yet another user remarked, “Bro, you are that lemon.”

Billore, who became famous earlier this year for a selfie with Indian cricketer Suryakumar Yadav (which led to Yadav’s poor performance in the next match, causing fans to call Billore ‘panauti’ or bad luck), is no stranger to viral moments. His association with Adani, particularly in light of the current scandal, has only added to his growing online presence.
Meanwhile, the Adani Group is embroiled in a bribery scandal in the United States. A federal court in the US has indicted Adani and seven others in a case involving alleged bribes worth $250 million (approximately Rs 2,100 crore) paid to Indian officials to secure solar project contracts.
