Praise of Jugaad or suspicion of it being fake? Jugaad i.e. the art of doing big things with less resources is not new in India. But this video has taken it to a new level.

Many people called it fake and said, “It is impossible to do this with a washing machine. This can only be a pretense made for views.” The question is, can the rotating motion of the machine really peel potatoes, or is this an edited video? Mixed reactions from people This viral video not only spread laughter, but also sparked a debate. While some are calling it a great way to save time in the kitchen, others believe that it is impractical and may be harmful to the machine. A techie warned, “Washing machines are designed to wash clothes. Putting potatoes in it can damage the machine.” Nevertheless, this Jugaad caught people’s attention and became the center of discussion on social media.
