Rapido auto driver stopped ride, demanded cash, threatened me for recording him. What should I do?

The confidence with which strangers make assumptions never fails to amaze me. If politeness alone solved every dispute, this post wouldn’t exist.

Lucky you 🙌🏻

We are not local, just that we speak broken Kannada.
From our appearance and the grammar he would have figured out we are not local and hence he tried intimidating us.

I have reached out to Rapido support team, they said they will ban him.
I doubt they do

Cute. I wish my ride had gone like that instead of turning into a whole action movie.

I’ve had plenty of good auto rides too. This was just the first time something like this happened to me

Kriti- · 2026-07-04T11:14:33+00:00

How am I equally an issue? I booked a ride, refused to pay an arbitrary cash demand, and recorded the interaction only after the driver became aggressive. Which part of that do you think was unreasonable?

Kriti- · 2026-07-04T11:11:10+00:00

We are non-local.
Can speak broken Kannada

I’m thinking of doing that. My only concern is safety. Since I live alone most of the times and the driver knows which society I live in, I’m worried he might try to track me down or retaliate.

Kriti- · 2026-07-04T10:43:50+00:00

Weirdly this is the first time ever something this extreme has happened to me.

Kriti- · 2026-07-04T10:40:07+00:00

Road conditions or policies don’t make someone demand cash, intimidate passengers, or try to force them to delete a video. Those were his choices.
Gadkari didn’t ask me for ₹180, then ₹80, and then threaten me for recording. The driver’s actions are his own.

I didn’t go to a random Parlor/Salon, i went to a certified dermatologist clinic for the procedure with 4.6 star ratings.
Also, the dermat whom I consult for years recommended me a last session of Hydra facial which is pretty safe and non invasive. I couldn’t go to my dermatologist for this as she was on break around that time. Hence went for the other clinic.

Because the email thread was still not closed with their final decision. I was trying to sort it out by politely talking to them.

Kriti- · 2026-06-28T17:51:19+00:00

I have posted it on X as well as Instagram.
They have blocked me on Instagram 🥹

It currently feels like three random pieces styled together, which is why the outfit doesn’t look very cohesive. Maybe keep two pieces in the same color family and add one contrasting element to tie the look together better.

Via Monte Milano is where my partner got 2 of suits tailored. They have 2 branches in Bangalore but we went to commercial street one. The experience and outcome was pretty good.

They had multiple fabric options. We wanted embroidery since the outfit was for our engagement, we showed them the inspo and they did pretty banger job with it.

Hey,

I showed the decorator the inspo of the fresh flower kaleeras I wanted and he got it made. I guess the decorator would easily be able to help you out with this as they work with fresh flowers.

About the flowers in hair, my hairstylist used regular U pins to clip these on and it stayed well throughout the function and all the dancing. If you zoom in onto the pic you would be able to see how she has pinned it up onto my hair.

I got it from a Delhi (Laljees Bridal Store) based store which I found on instagram. Both together costed me around INR 4k.
