A pair of sandals has sparked outrage and amusement among Indians after a store in Kuwait priced them at a staggering 4,500 Kuwaiti Dinar (approximately Rs 1.1 lakh). The sandals, dubbed "Trendy Sandals," have gone viral on social media, with many Indians expressing disbelief and criticism over the exorbitant price tag.
The video showcasing the sandals was shared on Instagram by a user named kuwaitinside and has garnered over 4 million views, 19,000 likes, and numerous comments. Many users have ridiculed the price, stating that similar sandals are commonly used in India as bathroom slippers and can be purchased for a mere Rs 60.
One user joked, "So we've been using 4,500 Dinar worth of slippers in our bathrooms our whole lives!" Another user quipped, "In India, we wear these to the bathroom and buy them for 60 bucks!" A third user humorously wrote, "This is every Indian mom's favorite weapon," while another user sarcastically commented, "This is the best Mother's Day gift. The best weapon for all moms. My mom's slippers were the best for me."
