"Kristen, did you just pay to get beaten up?"
Kristen Hanby had fans in fits of laughter after trying a traditional head massage on the streets of Mumbai.
The British YouTuber is visiting India with Australian influencer Jackson O’Doherty and the pair are making the most of their time in the country.
Kristen shared a video on Instagram, capturing his reaction to the energetic massage.
He smiled, winced, and laughed as the masseur slapped and kneaded his head in true “Desi” style.
He captioned the video: “The famous Indian street massage.”
Fans flooded the comments section with hilarious reactions.
One wrote: “The neck one I was holding my breath.”
Another joked: “I feel like he just saw you coming. My neck hurts for you.”
Summing up the chaos, one fan asked: “Kristen, did you just pay to get beaten up?”
However, others were concerned by how vigorous the masseur was, as one commented:
“As a licensed physio, I highly suggest that you never let anyone unprofessional manipulate your neck! Could lead to death even with professionals performing them.”
Kristen Hanby’s massage ended with a hug between him and the masseur.

He and Jackson have been zipping through Bandra in a rickshaw, enjoying South Indian food, and soaking in the city’s energy.
Jackson said: “We received a very friendly welcome when we arrived. There was a tuk-tuk waiting with our names on it.
“We also had South Indian food on our first day, and it was really tasty and awesome.”
Kristen was equally impressed. “I knew it’s going to be cool coming here, but it has been above my expectations.
“Everyone’s super nice and helpful. Even in the busy traffic, it’s fun just sitting there and seeing how crazy it is.”
The duo is on a seven-day trip, planning to attend the Maha Shivratri celebrations at Isha Foundation in Coimbatore and explore Nagaland.
Kristen said: “We are looking to create a lot of different travel content this year. We thought India is a great place to start and learn more about the culture.
“We wanted to do different things than what usual tourists do.”
“We’re going to go to a tribal area in Nagaland to explore that and film some content.
“As for the Maha Shivratri celebrations, we’ve only seen videos and heard about it, but we’re expecting it to be mindblowing.”
Their Indian adventure started on a high note, meeting Sanjay Dutt and Jacqueline Fernandez on their first day.

Jackson shared: “We met Baba. We are his best friends now, as he told us to call him Baba. We went inside with this whole energy, but he was this cool, calm and collected person. He was like a boss.”
The internet personalities danced with Jacqueline, with Kristen adding:
“She was really friendly, cool and she could dance better than us.
“Picture a big old fridge, bouncing on springs, and that was us in front of her. She made us twerk.”
