Mumbai woman tests if her '6'5 Lithuanian boyfriend can survive Indian Railways'
A Mumbai woman shared a video of her 6'5 Lithuanian boyfriend's first Indian Railways sleeper class train journey in India, which left social media users amused.
A Mumbai woman’s documented and shared a video of her Lithuanian boyfriend's experience in an Indian Railways sleep class train, complete with cramped berths, moving coaches, and a generous dose of Indian sweets.
The video was posted on Instagram by Shanti Mudaliyar, who summed up the experience in her caption: “He fits emotionally. Physically? Debatable. Should I make him try more Indian train classes?”
Her clip opens with visuals of a moving train, accompanied by on-screen text that reads, “Testing if my 6'5 Lithuanian boyfriend can survive Indian Railways.”
Shanti then pans the camera towards her boyfriend and asks him how he’s feeling. Smiling unfazed, he responds, “Very good,” flashing a cheerful thumbs-up — a moment that many viewers found unexpectedly wholesome.
As the journey continues, the couple is seen sharing a small portion of gajar ka halwa, with another display text popping up: “Feed him Indian sweets so he forgets about the chaos.”
However, the real test arrives when the camera turns to the sleeper berth. Shanti films her boyfriend attempting to adjust his 6'5" frame into the narrow sleeping space. As he tries to sit upright, his head hits the roof of the train, and when he finally lies down, his legs visibly struggle to fit within the length of the seat.

The refreshing video received a wave of reactions from viewers, several of whom related instantly to the struggle, regardless of nationality.
One user commented, “I am 5’9 and I have to bend my legs while sleeping.”
Another user offered practical advice, writing, “Probably next time book the upper berth for him which will be lot more comfortable to stretch for tall ppl like him.”
Several users praised the boyfriend’s positive attitude, observing how calmly he embraced the experience despite the obvious discomfort. Others joked about introducing him to other train classes, from general compartments to AC coaches, while some simply appreciated the warmth and humour with which the moment was shared.
