3. Funny Sketch About Desi Mom's Take On Matcha
A viral sketch captured an Indian mother's baffled reaction when her daughter tells her she's ordering matcha. Rather than sampling the drink, the mother repeatedly misunderstands the word. At one point, she mixes up "matcha" with "machli" (fish), which sets the comic tone. She then mocks the bamboo whisk used to prepare matcha by likening it to an Indian broom ("jhadu") and scoffs at the idea of paying too much money for it. When the price is mentioned, she jokes that if her daughter orders it anyway she'll get a "tamacha" (slap) and says she might as well mix mehendi (henna) powder into a paste instead. The exchange neatly highlighted the cultural and generational gap between trendy drinks and everyday Indian tastes. Click here for the full story.

Regardless, Vidya's take gave the trend a much-needed reality check. Sometimes, stars are just like us (confused by matcha's popularity). Read more here.

Stand-up comedian Rahul Dua shared a funny reel poking fun at the matcha craze, turning a trendy drink into a source of comedy.
