A dare involving a pet dog's water bowl has landed YouTuber Sourav Joshi in the middle of an online backlash. In a recent family vlog, Sourav asked his wife, Avantika Bhatt, to drink water from their pet dog Oreo's bowl.
The incident took place during a game involving Sourav and his family. As part of the game, he asked Avantika to drink water from Oreo's bowl. When she initially refused, Sourav encouraged her to take just a sip instead of drinking more.
He then picked up the bowl and brought it to her, assuring her that the water had been changed and was clean. Although Avantika appeared unsure about the task at first, she eventually completed the dare.
Sourav also asked the other participants whether he had said anything wrong by giving her the challenge. While the moment may have been intended as a light-hearted part of the game, it did not go down well with several viewers who later came across the clip.
The video drew criticism on Reddit, with some users questioning whether the incident was scripted and others expressing concern over the nature of the challenge.
Even as a joke this is not fine, she obviously is denying to do this gross act. Inframe: new money Sourav Joshi with poor brain.

One user wrote, “Even if it's scripted, which I totally think and hope it is, the mere thought of making your significant other drink water from a bowl made for an animal is just so dehumanising. It's not funny; it's not wow! It's just embarrassing that an educated woman would even agree to do this scripted thing.”
