Diwali is just around the corner, and Indian homes are already in full cleaning mode. Families dust, scrub and polish every corner in preparation for the festival. But this year’s cleaning craze is not limited to homes; It’s taking over the internet too.
Social media is now filled with funny Diwali Savai videos that show the real (and often messy) side of festive cleaning. From people who wash their beds with a hose to mothers who become household cleaning CEOs, these clips leave viewers scratching their heads. Here’s a look at some of the funny Diwali Safai moments that are taking over Instagram right now.
When the bed turned into a car
One viral clip has left the internet in a state of disbelief. The photo shows a woman cleaning her bed, not with a duster or vacuum cleaner, but with a water hose. Yes, you read that correctly. She sprays water on the bed as if she was washing a car, and even opens the drawers and fills them with water to clean them.
The comments below the post made the video even more entertaining. One user joked: “Don’t forget to clean the keyboard.”
“This is called a real deep clean,” another wrote, while another person called it the “Gobi Bahu Pro Max.”
Ninja in cleaning mode
Another video shows a woman explaining how to make cleansing masks from old clothes. Her effort turns her into a ninja as she ties the cloth around her face, climbs around corners and begins wiping down every surface that comes in front of her.
Maa = CEO, Beta = unpaid intern
One of the most relatable reels shows a classic mother-son duo caught up in a clean-up showdown on Diwali. When his mother asks for help, the “unemployed” son makes an outrageous request: “$500 million.” Without missing a beat, she replied, “Dekh bhai, 300 rupees dongi (Look brother, I will get 300 rupees).” He immediately agrees and says “Done!” Because honestly, who can argue with mothers and that too during Diwali.
The caption on the video reads: “Every Indian household before Diwali: Maa = CEO, Beta = unpaid intern. Negotiation level: Maa always wins!”
The comments under this video were absolutely hilarious. One user asked: “Tumko paisa bhi mil raha hai? (Do you even get paid?).”
“Inflation is crying in the corner,” one person said, while another added: “Mujhes libert me karwati hai (You make me do it for free).”
Bigg Boss style toilet cleaning battle
Another popular video puts a dramatic spin on the most-avoided household task: cleaning the toilet. In this episode, a woman and her brother-in-law argue over who should do it while dubbing fight scenes from the popular reality show Bigg Boss.
The caption simply says: “Toilet saaf kar (toilet cleaning).” The dramatic expressions and voiceover made it sound like a proper TV argument, leaving people in splits.
When mothers don’t stop
Another video captures another funny moment. In it, the son asks his mother to take a rest after her health reports indicated that she should not exert herself. But the truth is that the mother refuses to stop cleaning. Despite the warnings, she continues to hold the broom in her hand, determined to finish the safai before Diwali.
