A Two-Second Clip Takes Over the Internet… Who Is This Viral ‘Auto Girl’?

Predicting what goes viral on social media has become nearly impossible, and this incident proves it once again. A two-second video of a young woman sitting in an auto rickshaw and simply looking into the camera has unexpectedly blown up on X, drawing massive attention across the country.

The clip was posted on November 2 by the user ‘bud wiser @w0rdgenerator’. She shared it with the caption “Makeup ate today.” In the video, she appears in a white top and silver earrings, casually sitting in an auto and giving a quick look toward the camera. The short clip has now amassed over 100 million views, thousands of comments, tens of thousands of reposts, and more than 125K likes and the numbers continue to climb.

The girl in the video has been identified as Priyanga. She wasn’t widely known on social media before this, and even she is stunned by the sudden fame. I thought I’d get maybe a thousand likes at best. I didn’t expect it to go out of control. I’m tired of seeing my own face every where, she joked.

The video’s reach is so huge that most frequent users of X have likely seen it at least once. Many people are wondering why this simple clip became so popular. I’ve seen this girl more times than my parents this month, one user commented. Another joked, Even when X was glitching, this video still managed to play.

The clip has since turned into a meme template. Content creators are using it like a digital billboard to boost engagement on their posts. With all this sudden attention, Priyanga’s account has also received the coveted blue verification badge. Netizens are joking about that too, saying things like, Her viral video is going to strengthen India’s economy with all the dollars she’s bringing in!
