’Shirt ka button khula rakhoge toh GST’: Man pranks people with ’weird rules’ amid continued row over popcorn tax

Posts about the ‘popcorn tax’ have continued to gain momentum in recent weeks — with a creator recently making up a series of ‘weird rules’ while interacting with strangers in public. 

The now-viral clip features influencer Aryan Kataria approaching people with increasingly ridiculous assertions about the many things that could incur GST. This included holding a cellphone with the right hand and keeping shirts unbuttoned.
