Beggar in Ajmer buys iPhone 16 Pro Max, sparks online debate
A beggar in Ajmer, Uttar Pradesh, has taken the internet by storm after purchasing an iPhone 16 Pro Max worth ₹1.7 lakh, entirely through alms. Identified as Sheikh, a physically disabled man, he shared his story in a viral video that has ignited discussions about ambition, effort, and unconventional methods of achieving material success.
When asked by an interviewer where he got the money for the high-end gadget, Sheikh candidly replied, "Maang ke" (through begging). He revealed that he paid the amount in cash at an Apple Store, leaving many surprised by his unconventional route to afford such a luxury.
The video has drawn mixed reactions online. While some social media users questioned societal norms about labor and success, others critiqued the practice of giving money to beggars.
One comment read, “Best business, no investment, no job, no stress—just a luxurious life.” Another said, “Beggars are doing better than the middle class these days.”

“Mistake owing to communication gap,” MLA Yatnal clarifies over alleged derogatory speech on Prophet
Vijayapura: Vijayapura MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal has denied making any derogatory statement about Prophet Muhammad, clarifying that there was a misstatement during his speech at a Ram Navami event in Hubballi. "I did not speak about Prophet Muhammad. I meant to refer to Muhammad Ali Jinnah, but there was a mistake in the speed of speech," he said addressing reporters on Monday.
He alleged that members of the Congress, frustrated by their hooliganism and failure to collect their hafta (extortion) in Vijayapura are using the Prophet as an excuse to speak against me. “There is no culture of denigrating another religion in Hinduism. Our gurus and elders have not taught us that,” he said.
Responding to another controversy involving an audio clip in which he was allegedly threatened, Yatnal said the police are investigating the matter and that those behind it will soon be exposed. “No one can finish me. The Hindus of Karnataka are with me. If someone tries to finish me, the whole state will rise in protest,” he warned.
