An Indian travel vlogger shared a heart-touching experience from Afghanistan, and his video has gone viral on social media. The vlogger, named Kailash Meena, posted the video with the caption “Why everything is free for Indians in Afghanistan” and a text overlay saying “Afghan Hospitality.”

In the video, Kailash is seen drinking fresh pomegranate juice at a street stall in Afghanistan. He tells viewers, “I am drinking pomegranate juice in Afghanistan.” After finishing his drink, he tries to pay the vendor. However, the juice seller refuses to take any money from him. The vendor keeps telling him that he is a “mehmaan,” which means “guest.”

Kailash repeatedly insists on paying. He politely explains to the vendor, “I am not a guest. Let me tell you something, this is your business. It shouldn’t work like this. Tell me how much it costs. You must take the money.” But despite his efforts, the vendor still declines the payment with a smile.

As the conversation continues, another local man joins in. He tells Kailash that Afghans consider Indians as their friends and treat them with love and respect. The vendor and the people standing around also say kindly, “India mehmaan hai. Hindustan bohot achcha,” meaning “India is our guest. India is very good.”

This warm gesture leaves Kailash emotional. He hugs the juice vendor and several locals standing nearby. With a smile, he says, “We will come again. This is Afghanistan’s hospitality. You all are very nice people.” Towards the end of the video, Kailash adds that Afghans show this same kindness everywhere. He says, “Wherever you go in Afghanistan, they won’t take money from you.”

People who watched the video commented that the bond between ordinary Indians and Afghans remains strong. Many said that even though the two countries may have political differences, the common people still share feelings of friendship, respect and humanity.
