Some of the say that their own work (5) involves social media(SM).”
The Charminar that habituated to witness large number of visitors daily filled with street vendors, push carts, clients & tourists from the Janta Curfew. The monument is deserted even after the relaxation. The Charminar doesn’t look anything like its pre-pandemic self specially discussing the scarcity of citizens about it. Though it does feel like that bit with TikTokers who come to shoot their own video clips.

A crowd of 5 to 6 with props like chairs, table, cycles are publishing these video clips on social media(SM) platforms like TikTok, Instagram & Facebook(FB) with the hashtags #Hyderabad(Hyd), #Hyderabadi, #Hyderabadi_Nawabs & #Charminar.
