During the exchange, the person behind the camera reminds him that he is in Dombivli, located in Maharashtra, where Marathi is the primary language. In response, the worker claims that he is not dependent on employment in Mumbai, adding that there is no shortage of work opportunities in his home state of Bihar.
When asked why he chose to come to Maharashtra, the worker responds that he had been called, suggesting that his presence in the state was demand-driven.
The video then cuts to a later moment where the same individual appears to soften his stance. He is seen acknowledging his mistake and expressing willingness to learn Marathi. He states that since he wishes to continue working in the city, he will make an effort to understand and speak the language.
