A video of a man disguising himself as a Swiggy Instamart delivery agent to surprise his girlfriend on her birthday has gone viral, with several users criticizing the man in the clip for promoting such a gesture.
Shared by digital creator Aarav Mavi, the now-viral video shows him helping his friend surprise his girlfriend. For the surprise, the duo approaches a real Swiggy Instamart delivery executive outside the woman’s housing society and politely asks if they could borrow his T-shirt for a few minutes.
The delivery partner agrees, and the man quickly changes into the uniform before heading to his girlfriend’s apartment. A short while later, he rings her doorbell, carrying a delivery bag. The video then shows her surprised reaction as the couple celebrated by cutting a cake and sharing a hug. Soon after the video went viral, the official handle of Instamart commented, “brocode.”
Further, the video has since been shared across social media platforms, including X, sparking backlash over a security breach. Although the video is seemingly scripted, a section of users argued that such content can easily sway criminals and pose a threat to women’s safety.

“Even if it’s a scripted video, still such videos can lead to security breaches n attempt murders on rivals or on others by using same tricks,” a user wrote. “This isn’t about a “cute gesture,” it’s about security and accountability. If a uniform meant for verified delivery partners becomes a disguise for anyone, it endangers every household. Brands must act responsibly — not encourage or engage with such content for clout.
Safety > Social media trends,” another user commented.
“It feels scripted. But yes this sends wrong message to the customers,” a third user reacted.
