Tensions escalate as Dixit becomes entangled in a physical altercation with another woman. Despite intervention from some men to separate them, Dixit continues to express her frustration as the video concludes.
Since its dissemination, the video has evoked a spectrum of reactions. Some critics lambasted Dixit, with one remarking,
“You can export Mumbai’s street food(vada pav) to other places, but you can’t export Mumbai’s culture and decency.” Another joined, “Life has become live big boss thanks to chapri youtubers.”
Others noted her frequent involvement in controversies, with one person questioning, “Other than her Rs50/- per vada pao, why is this female daily on my X feed about something or the other?” “Aaye din yeh didi new kalesh me pad hi jati hai. Jaldi famous hona bhi sabhi ko pachta nahi hai,” said another.
However, the location and date of the incident remain unconfirmed, and there are no reports indicating any legal repercussions for those involved in the viral altercation.
