India, Feb. 20 -- A video showing an author bargaining for a pirated copy of her own book at Delhi's Connaught Place has gone viral on social media.

Taking to Instagram, author Radhika Agrawal shared a clip of herself visiting a local street vendor at Connaught Place, where she spotted a pirated version of her book Red Flags and Rishtas: A Desi Rom Com being sold openly.

In the video, Agrawal asks the vendor about the price of the book, to which he replies that it costs Rs.350. She then jokingly asks, "Author discount milega?" before revealing, "Ye meri book hai."

The unexpected moment appears to amuse the vendor, who eventually agrees to sell the book to her for Rs.100, turning the interaction into a humorous yet ironic exchange.
