The "Baingan" meme is a humorous internet trend that involves the use of the word "baingan" (brinjal) to respond to various questions and comments, regardless of their context.
The reporter asked the boy about his favourite subject in school but the boy thought the reporter was asking about his favourite vegetable (subzi). So, he said "baingan" (brinjal).
He also extemporarily said "aayein" [which can be translated to 'come again' when asked a question].
This funny misunderstanding led to the creation of the "Baingan" meme trend.
The video was recorded in 2022 and uploaded on YouTube. It quickly went viral with over millions of views to date.
The boy's confident and straightforward response combined with his endearing demeanour made him an instant internet sensation.
The "Baingan" meme is believed to have originated from the boy's misunderstanding of the term "subject" as sabji (vegetable).
However, the meme's popularity is likely due to its humour and relatability.
The boy's candid response is something that many people can identify with as it is a reminder of the innocence and simplicity of childhood.
In recent weeks, the "Baingan" meme has resurfaced and is once again going viral.
This is likely due to its enduring popularity and the fact that it can be used in a variety of contexts.
Internet users have embraced the trend by using the word "baingan" to humorously reply to various questions, statements, or comments on social media.
