Love can drive people to wild extremes—but this guy took it to a whole new level, leaving the internet both stunned and entertained.

A viral video shows a man scaling an electric pole armed with a giant pair of pliers. In a dramatic move, he cuts the power lines, allegedly plunging his girlfriend’s entire village into darkness.

The reason? He was furious because her phone line kept ringing busy and she wasn’t answering his calls.

Rather than calmly talking it out, he chose to lash out by cutting the electricity. Although the video hasn’t been independently verified, it’s already gone viral across social media.

Internet Reacts: From Shock to Memes

Despite the reckless act, the online crowd couldn’t resist turning this drama into meme gold:

• “A true filmi lover!”
• “He just took ‘power cut’ to a whole new level.”
• “Someone tell him Bollywood isn’t real life.”
• “That’s not even a phone line, dude. Education matters!”
• “Because of her, the whole village is in the dark now.”
• “I was just waiting for him to cut the wrong wire and get zapped.”

And the most viral reaction? “India is not for beginners.”
