This past week, the internet found its new obsession in a viral pawri, err... party video. Featuring a friends gang from Pakistan, the selfie video shows popular social media influencer Dananeer Mobeen showing us around her surroundings that comprise a car, some people and a mid-road pawri. Originally shared on her Instagram, the video has now crossed 1.5 million views.
"Yeh humari car hai, yeh hum hain, aur yeh humari pawri ho rahi hai" has now become the meme trend of the month, sparking a fest on both sides of the border. Dananeer, or Geena as she is alternatively known, has responded to the overwhelming response her video received, thanking fans and followers for sharing a laugh with her.
Pawri Ho Rahi Hai Girl Goes Viral
Dananeer's manner of saying 'party' isn't without context, although many have taken to believe pawri is just how she says it. She explains it in the caption of the video she originally posted on Instagram: "When borgors visit northern areas: yeh hamari pawri horai haai."
Evidently, she knew what she was doing. 'Borgors' in Pakistan is a stylisation of 'burgers,' a tag used for an elite class of people trying desperately to mimic western culture, mannerisms, habits and accents. Often called 'burger bachhas,' these youngsters are distinct in Pakistani society for their insulated, sheltered and what some believe tone-deaf living, as per Al Jazeera.
As any viral meme trend is now destined to become, Dananeer's video caught the attention of Indian remixer Yashraj Mukhate of 'rasode mein kaun tha' fame and he turned it into a peppy number. Hopping on the pawri train, he boosted the original video manifold, with his remix standing at over 2 million views by itself.
