Lorenzo Nova Nobilio - a reality TV star known for appearing in Netflix's Squid Game: The Challenge - recently shared a light-hearted moment from his trip to India. While visiting the Kaveri Nisargadhama Forest Park in Coorg, Karnataka, he noticed something amusing: instead of the animals drawing attention, it was he who became the attraction. Almost every local visitor approached him for a photograph, resulting in a hilarious reel that has now gone viral.

"At the beginning, I did think it was because they watched my shows," he admitted. He soon realised, however, that the curiosity had little to do with his on-screen appearances. Locals simply wanted a picture with a foreign tourist. Sharing the experience with good humour, he joked, "I went to a zoo in India, turns out I was the exotic animal everyone came to see."

The amusing moment did not end there. In the now-viral clip, an Indian man can be seen holding Lorenzo's hand while posing for a photo, a gesture that captured the internet's attention just as much as the scenario itself. Adding to the fun, Lorenzo captioned the reel, "Anyway, if he doesn't hold your hand like that... DUMP HIM!!!!"

The comments section was soon filled with laughter and relatable anecdotes. One viewer noted, "Men can hold hands platonically in India." Another foreign traveller chimed in, "Haha. I get asked for pictures more in India than anywhere else, and 98% have no idea who I actually am."
