The incident was shared on Instagram by influencer Khushi Dubey, who posts under the handle @khushicupcake5.
In a video titled "This is what happened with us in Italy," Dubey recorded an exchange with a waiter identified as Hossain, who made offensive comments about India and Indian customers.
The clip begins with an argument over a payment issue, although it remains unclear what sparked the dispute. During the confrontation, the waiter can be heard saying: "f**k off you, I call the police."
The women objected to his tone. One of them responded: "You know what? Mind your language. We are ladies first of all, okay?"
As the argument continued, Hossain turned his attention to the group's nationality. At one point, he said: "You carry your country badly." According to the video, one of Khushi's friends replied, "We're from Bangladesh that's why," sarcastically attempting to challenge him.
The exchange soon became more heated. The waiter was then heard saying: "You're from f***ing India."
Another woman responded: "Mr Hossain, be respectful. You should know how to respect women."
The comments left the group upset. In the footage, Khushi could also be heard telling her friends in Hindi: "Yaar usko paise do aur chalo warna I'll slap him."
