Later in the clip, he shared a photograph of himself with four Indian men, with one of them holding his hand.
He wrote, “Turns out I was the exotic animal everyone came to see.”

Nobilio’s video received several comments, with one of them saying, “Haha. I get asked for pictures more in India than anywhere else and 98% have no idea who I actually am (sic).”
