A viral video circulating on social media has left viewers astonished as it shows a drunken man fearlessly interacting with a cobra as if it were a pet. The video, posted by Instagram user Kaki Venkatesh, features the intoxicated man casually placing his bottle of what seems to be country liquor aside before approaching the venomous snake under a tree. Speaking to it in a calm and affectionate manner, he treats the dangerous reptile like a domestic animal.
Throughout the clip, the man can be seen petting the snake and even reassuring someone off-camera that the cobra won’t bite him. While his bold behavior stunned viewers, it was the snake’s reaction that caught the most attention. The usually aggressive creature remained motionless and seemed puzzled by the entire situation, as the man continued to handle it without any apparent fear.
The video has gone viral, amassing nearly 440,000 likes and over 2,000 comments. Social media users were both shocked and amused by the unusual scene. One user joked, “The snake is waiting for his share of the 90ml,” while another quipped, “Looks like the man has mastered the ‘python language.’”
Some comments reflected on the calmness of the situation, with one person writing, “This just shows that if you don’t provoke anyone, they won’t harm you.” Another user pointed out, “He’s so relaxed that the snake didn’t pick up any fear vibes from him. It’s probably thinking, ‘What is this human even doing?’”
Others took a more humorous approach, commenting on the man’s luck and the surprising behavior of both the man and the snake. One user remarked, “He used all his luck in a matter of seconds,” while another stated, “Once again, India proves it’s not a place for beginners.”
The video has become a talking point on social media, sparking a wave of reactions and discussions about the bizarre interaction and the curious effects of alcohol on human behavior.
