A video from Birmingham, UK, has gone viral after showing a woman demanding money from a car owner. The girl claimed to be an Indian student and asked for £20 (about ₹2,300) after wiping his car’s front mirror. The man refused, which eventually led to a heated argument caught on camera.
The clip has sparked massive debate online. While many slammed the act, others suggested the video might be staged to gain attention on social media.
The Exchange Between Woman and Car Owner
The video begins with the student knocking on a car window. As the owner lowers the glass, she says, “Sir, £20 please.”
The man looks surprised and asks, “For what?”
She replies, “I just cleaned your window.”
The car owner disagrees, saying, “You just did a quick wipe. Look, I’m confused – £20?”
The student insists, “Yeah, I mean that is the cost of living.”
Visibly shocked, the man says, “What do you mean cost of living? You’re crazy.” He adds that he never asked for the service. But the woman keeps pressing him for money.
As the situation heats up, the woman warns the man that she will not let him leave unless he pays. She tells him, “You will have to knock me if you want to leave.”

The car owner responds by calling her a “robber.” Despite his refusal, she continues asking for the money.
Strong Reactions From Viewers
The video triggered strong reactions on social media.
One user wrote, “She’s begging with that attitude also—who would want to give her? LOL.”
Another commented, “International bhikari.”
Some pointed out the odd logic, asking, “What type of cleaning is this?”
Others compared it to India, saying, “She thinks she is in India.”
Was the Video Scripted?
Not everyone believed the clip was real. Many users suggested it was staged. They pointed out that the same student and car owner appeared together in other viral reels.
One comment read, “This is all nonsense. This girl has made many videos with this person, and this is a way to defame.”
Another person added, “This is an agenda… the same woman has acted in another reel where she claimed a parked car hit her. The same man was recording it.”
This has led to doubts about whether the Birmingham viral video was genuine or just a scripted stunt for views.
According to The Last Hour News, local authorities are now reviewing the video. They are checking whether the act was real or part of a staged social media trend.
With staged clips becoming common, many online users say the incident highlights how social media blurs the line between reality and performance.
