Social media personalities Sandesh Agate and Mohit Kajarekar took to the streets of Mumbai with a daring question: “How much do you earn?” Their social experiment, uploaded on their Instagram page Because Why Not Official, captured a mix of surprising, awkward, and evasive reactions on salary.

Some individuals sidestepped the inquiry, offering vague responses instead. One man casually remarked, “We manage well with what we get,” while another estimated his monthly pay to be around ₹50,000-₹60,000. A few others boldly claimed their earnings were in lakhs.

The video, shot in the bustling Kamala Mills area, quickly gained traction online. Within days, it racked up over 500,000 views, sparking discussions about financial privacy and societal norms.

Netizens had mixed opinions. One user joked, “This question needs to be flipped back on nosy relatives!” Others wondered why salaries remain a taboo subject, with one comment reading, “Why the secrecy? What’s the harm in answering?”
