In a video uploaded by Instagram user Ankita Mhatre, the ‘Touch it’ trend went in a desi and sanskari direction. The reel which featured Ankita’s grandparents and other elders of the family left the netizens in splits with its relatable content and witty concept.
In the reel, Mhatre’s family, only the elders including parents and grandparents, are seen lined up while the song ‘Touch it’ plays in the background. They are seen putting a desi twist on the Western trend, by asking the children to touch their feet, going in sync with the lyrics.
