A tweet posted this morning at 8:10 AM by X user @narayananh has gone viral for its unexpected content. Narayanan Hariharan, a visibly active X user, shared a firsthand experience with his regular car cleaner that has left many on the platform both curious and unsettled.
The car cleaner, who is reportedly from Nepal and lives in Chennai, recently informed Narayanan that he would be going on a month-long break due to an emergency. Narayanan provided financial help, but what happened next, he noted, was shocking and deeply unsettling.
He said: “Mere wife ko chudail ne pakad liya hai.” (A ghost has possessed my wife.)
Wife’s sudden fluency in Tamil raises questions
According to Narayanan, the man’s wife had been unwell, reportedly due to a heart condition involving a hole in her heart. However, the husband is convinced that the issue is not medical, but supernatural.
“In the last 6 months, she’s started speaking fluent Tamil.
Not a few words. Entire sentences. Almost like a native speaker.”
He added that she had never learned Tamil before. The couple lives in a closely-knit Nepali community in Chennai, with limited exposure to the language. “It is definitely not easy to pick it up naturally,” Narayanan noted.
Medical visits, religious rituals, and a warning
The man reportedly took his wife to a government hospital (GH) for treatment, but there was no improvement. The man then went to a local mosque for help, where rituals were performed over the past two months. Narayanan noted there was still no progress. “In fact, she now speaks even more Tamil.” Eventually, the imam at the masjid issued a warning. “Take her back home. If she stays here, she may not survive.” This advice has led the family to go back to Nepal.
“This guy is super bright”
In a follow-up comment, Narayanan mentioned that the car cleaner is known for his intelligence and quick learning abilities.
“And btw, this guy is super bright. I even got him a second-hand laptop (@\_glnarayanan, remember?) last year, considering his intelligence, interest, and grasp for picking new things up, especially tech.”
Commenters share their thoughts: From past lives to mental well-being
The tweet has sparked a lot of discussion, with people sharing everything from spiritual knowledge to scientific explanations.
One user mentioned: “In sastras, we refer to people as jatismara, where a rare person could acquire memories of the past birth. Then the language of the previous birth is known to them. While a medical doctor should be consulted for therapy, it is said that listening to Jada-bharata charitram of Srimad Bhagavatam helps.”
Another commented: “The fluent Tamil factor is something even science can't explain.
I hope she recovers.”
Some advised being cautious and thinking critically:
“I also have a Nepali driver.
They are very superstitious.
Fluent Tamil– who called it fluent Tamil? For someone who knows no Tamil, anything might seem fluent.
She should see a psychiatrist right away.”
Another user wrote: “Seen a psychiatrist? A lot of such behaviours could stem from mental conditions. She may have had the condition for a while and has been quietly learning Tamil passively. Now, some trigger has outwardly manifested the problem.”
Narayanan responded to this: “He has been taking her to the GH, and the GH here is supposed to be really good. Not sure which specialist, etc. He has already bought tickets to go back, etc, so l didn't ask any further questions, plus I was taken a bit aback. This guy is smart.”
Speculations, suggestions, and spiritual routes
Many users in the replies suggested the family seek spiritual help, both in Tamil Nadu and Nepal.
“Nepal, there should be tantrics who can help. Hope he can find the right help there, or also some of their village deities will be powerful. I wonder, even in Tamil Nadu, didn't he try some of the temples... There should be some who would help with this.”
Another suggestion was made: “Recommend to go to Chotanikara and visit the Bhagavathi temple.”
Some questioned if she was really fluent: “How can they be sure it's Tamil and very fluent too? If they have minimal exposure in the region, who's the one identifying it?” To which Narayanan replied: “I stay in Chennai.”
A case that has left the internet thinking
With hundreds of reactions, guesses, and suggestions still coming in, the tweet continues to get people talking. While the story hasn't been confirmed and is personal, it has caught the attention of many, raising questions about health, beliefs, and the unknown. At the time of writing, no further updates have been shared by the original poster.

My regular car cleaner is going on a month long break. Said there’s an emergency, and he has to return to Nepal.
I offered to help with some money for the trip, but what he said next gave me chills.
He said:
“Mere wife ko chudail ne pakad…
