"Social media has done India wrong. There is a negativity bias on social media, and for India, this means people filming its extremes. In reality, India is a beautiful country full of rich culture, diverse landscapes, and amazing people. I’m not denying its problems; any country of 1.5 billion people will have its problems, but as someone who has good Indian friends, it’s sad to see how India is portrayed to the world," McNaught wrote in his caption.

In his video, he has shown different locations in the country and his interactions with locals and fun moments with stray animals. He also showed Indian culture and a variety of food options.
