Footage recorded in India shows a street vendor sitting inside a large pot of rice while serving customers, according to Son Dakika. Wearing a sleeveless vest, the seller remained seated in the vessel and used a ladle to fill portions onto plates that buyers held out to him. The report says the vendor calls his rice dish "Şifa," a Turkish word meaning healing or cure.
Why it matters
The images have drawn attention for an unusual reason: the person selling the food is positioned inside the same container the food is served from. Son Dakika notes that this arrangement has raised questions about food hygiene. The report also cites a striking earnings claim, which has added to public interest in the vendor.
What the footage shows
According to Son Dakika, the video captures the seller seated within the large rice pot as customers approach. Buyers extend their plates toward him and wait while he scoops rice from the pot and places it onto them. The vendor continues sitting inside the vessel throughout the sequence shown in the footage.
The report does not identify the vendor, the city where the footage was recorded, or the date the video was taken. It also does not say whether the footage was filmed recently or circulated earlier.
The earnings claim
Son Dakika reports that the vendor is said to earn an average of 950,000 Indian rupees per day, a figure the outlet describes as roughly 500,000 Turkish lira. The report presents this as a claim rather than a confirmed figure, and it does not explain how the number was calculated or verified.
The combination of the vendor's position inside the pot and the reported daily income is what Son Dakika highlights as the surprising element of the story.
Hygiene questions left open
The report states that the vendor being in the same pot as the food has prompted concerns about cleanliness, but it does not include comment from health authorities, the vendor himself, or any customers. No regulatory action or investigation is mentioned in the material.
Son Dakika's account is limited to describing the footage and relaying the earnings claim. It does not provide details on how the rice is prepared, stored, or kept at temperature, nor does it say how long the vendor remains inside the pot during a serving session.
What to watch
It is not yet clear whether the video will prompt any response from local food safety officials, or whether the vendor will address the hygiene questions directly. Further reporting would be needed to confirm the earnings figure and the location of the stall.
