Millionaire Bryan Johnson surprised social media users, particularly Indians, by using desi slang in his latest post.

Millionaire entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, widely recognised for his Blueprint project that focuses on reversing ageing, is now In India for a six-day trip. Throughout his stay, Johnson has been sharing his experiences in the country and his updates have been gaining popularity on social media. Recently, he surprised the social media users, particularly Indians, by casually dropping desi slang in his posts.

Turning to X, the 47-year-old wrote, “I love the culture of b******i in India. It perfectly captures my worldview: take your work seriously, not yourself.”

A curious user, intrigued by Johnson’s use of Indian slang, asked him about another popular term which is often linked to Indian creativity and clever shortcuts – jugaad.

“How about jugaad? koi blueprint ka sasta jugaad batao,” the user wrote, referring to Johnson’s anti-ageing initiative.

Responding promptly, the CEO said, “I like jugaad — most innovation comes from frugality. But if it means taking shortcuts, we are in trouble. Fixing air pollution in India will require an overhaul, and can’t be done with jugaad.”

Johnson’s tweet has taken the internet by storm, racking up over 7 lakh views so far. It has sparked a flood of reactions in the comment section as social media users couldn’t get over the millionaire casually dropping desi slangs.

One user quipped, “Bro spent a few days in India but became more Indians than most of us.”

Another enthusiastically commented, “He just became my favourite millionaire.!”

“Dude’s hitting all the notes to reach out to the targeted demographics,” someone else humorously noted.

A person joked, “Give him an Aadhaar card already,” while another amazed follower asked, “Whaaat.. how does he know all this? He also knows “jugaad” and all.. Has he been spending time in India??”

More remarks continued in the comment section with one user writing, “BJ learned b******i before we got GTA 6,” and another commenting, “man this post made my day.”

A surprised X user wrote, “I never thought I would live the day to see Bryan Johnson tweet about his appreciation for b******i in India!”

Meanwhile, an individual pointed out, “That’s the secret ingredient to surviving and thriving—serious work with a side of not taking life too seriously. Perfect balance, right?”

Johnson also made a stop at Antilia, the famous Ambani residence, where he interacted with notable personalities like Anand Piramal, Shloka Ambani, and Sonam Kapoor, among others. Earlier, he attended a private event at Soho House, where he had the chance to meet Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal and comedian Tanmay Bhat.
