A video of a Mumbai-based man offering paid listening sessions by the seaside has gone viral, sparking curiosity and conversation online. The clip, reshared by Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma on X, shows a man inviting people to open up about their problems in exchange for a fee.

Posting the video on X, Sharma captioned the post, “I am sure you can’t guess, what does this guy do.”

A unique service by the shore

In the video, the man is seen sitting beside a placard that outlines his unusual offering. Passersby can stop and share their concerns while he listens attentively. His pricing model is clearly defined. Everyday issues are charged at ₹250, more serious concerns at ₹500, and a “cry together” session is priced at ₹1,000.

The man, identified as Prithvi Raj Bohra, explains that people approach him to unburden themselves. He listens without judgment and, in some cases, offers guidance. According to him, several visitors leave feeling lighter after the interaction.

Bohra says his background in psychology and philosophy helps him understand people better. His approach is simple. He creates a space where individuals can speak freely, even if only for a short time. The video suggests that his service has found steady demand, with people willing to pay for a listening ear.
