The famous Indian "head bobble" is widely known around the world. But why do Indians bobble their heads so often? Do they even know that they’re doing it? We hit the streets of Mumbai to find out.
The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Indian population.
Special thanks to our Asian Boss team in Mumbai.

United by Wobbles.
you forgot family name, skin tone and occupation
@@euomu that's in every country.... atleast people live together in India irrespective of all these things.
vaibhav satpute Every country? If you truly believe that, you’re quite delusional. I’m also not saying anything offensive about India, so chill out. It’s just the truth. I have not once seen or heard of this kind of segregation and discrimination within my own country. Perhaps you should travel more
Legendary 😂
Sorry, every indian does not bobble
"Did u delete the browser history?"
"You did?!"
"You didn't?!"
"What!!?"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I cracked too. 🤣🤣 He wobbled for both. 🤣
Hahahahaha
That was funny
that "browser history" got me
I cracked up😂😆
I didn’t know it was an “Indian “ thing until my European friend told me about it😆 I thought everyone does it
me too
Everyone thinks that about their own culture and not much is universal
Till I saw this video I thought it was a natural thing which everyone did.
I also thought it was a common thing that everyone does
People from Iran do this too in a more subtle way.
The most important head gesture is in the examination hall 😂😂
Hell yea 😂
if you don't understand head and head gestures you might fail in exams lol

It is infectious. When I was staying in India for over 2 weeks, I realized that I started wobbling my head with “ok...” just like Indian people

And by infectious you mean contagious

I’m an African American guy in USA who works in it. I’ve been working at least 25 yrs in this field & with Indians at least 20 yrs. I know the head bobble well. My wife told me I even do it now too sometimes
😂😂
Hahaha nice!
It'll will take over soon and your family will be known as bobble heads
Allow it man.
When I watch Indian dramas for too long it just starts to occur.
imagine proposing an indian girl and she uses head bobble to answer!
😂
It's not confusing if you understand them .
Many girls use her head to answer
😂😂😂😂😂
Its happens all the time, this is not even a joke
The reason behind the wobble is that, India has many languages, so we have to rely on non-verbal gestures to communicate.
Papua New Guinea and Indonesia disagree
That's totally not the reason man
@@upenmanocha4366 s
@indian win just googling and get the facts

Yup bang on...north east india is such a gem man.....wish i could travel around all 7 states for months

Are Indians even aware they’re doing it?
*Head bobbles in Indian*
Edit: this is why I love India- so many different answers which show off the country’s diversity !!!
Yes
Yesn't
No we ain't aware of it
that's involuntary for us
No I didn't even know what it was until now
For Indians:-
Yes: Bobble
No: Bobble
OK: Bobble
That's it: Bobble
Let's see: Bobble
I don't know: Bobble
I'm enjoying: Bobble
We don't want to waste our energy 😀
Yes: continuous up and down motion.
No: continuous side to side motion.
Ok: soft and slow up and down motion.
That's it: lifting and bringing head down with a jerk.
Let's see: short and singular movement towards one side but with a bit of a jerk.
I don't know: tilting of head towards one side with rolled lower lips and lifted shoulders.
I'm enjoying: continuous motion towards only one side with a smile to the side of the head bobble (like a smirk).
[IN MOST CASES]
I literally enacted alk of that😂
@@dosifinswain7476 you have to enact that to understand that. I had to enact that while writing that because I had forgotten what each one was for
@@dosifinswain7476 me too
My friend is from Middle east🤣🤣 he told me how when he came to India he was frustrated because to any question indian would just wobble his/her head.
He said when he went back to his home he too involuntary started doing it and then it was his family who was frustrated 🤣🤣🤣
They would generally be saying no to him because they can’t understand his language. Because some accents in English got me confused too like I don’t get too many English songs until I take my time to read lyrics but some I totally understood like Taylor Swift’s one’s.
Best cmnt evee
Wobbling is just like answering to a question in seconds...it doesn't mean disrespectful but it saves time and effort to open mouth and speak 😂...after all we should conserve our energy more by speaking less
Lmaooo
now his family does that and whole community is frustated....wobble virus spreads
Everyone thinks it’s cute except their barbers. Holy hell! HOLD YOUR HEAD STILL!

Indians can literally communicate without saying anything just using their heads and faces. Head wobbles and expressions go a far longer way than spoken word.
Indeed it's true
they are especially good when you really dont want to talk to some one or want them to just leave. its quite easy to be dismissive while still not being rude.
Yeah we learnt it from our friends during exams
The head wobbling differs from state to state. Even from district to district. My husband's home is located in another district of Kerala. Which is 60km away. When they see some familiar person or say bye they used to wobble the head like- chin comes to the chest. Initially after marriage once my mom in law wobbled to me like that, I thought she meant"come here" & I went 😂. Later I recognized she was saying bye
@@Franlifez I am laughing hard
with more than 1200 regional languages, we needed a non-verbal language to communicate 😂😂😂
it's funny how most of us (Indians) thought that it was normal everywhere 😜
Non verbal language, language use for communicate. But this gesture have lot of meaning and based on this video indian themself are confused (sometimes) 😂
@@Nadia-yj5iy they are not able to explain but they'll use those head wobbles perfectly 😂
@@Nadia-yj5iy these are done instantaneously it's just an stimulus reason why they can't explain when asked to explain but they will use this in their daily life & people around them would understand it

🤣🤣 Advance level of communication
😂 oh damn .. A fast and continuous head wobble 🙂means that the person really understands , A quick wobble ☺️from side to side means "yes" or "alright", a slow soft wobble with a smile😁 is a sign of friendship and respect. Giving a vague wobble 😐 is one way of not making a firm commitment without being offensive thatst a "no" .

@Jagz no brother we don't have 33 million Gods...I just told this thing to remember 100 people over Internet...it is a huge misconception
Kinda we are 😂
@Jagz are yar 🤦🤦 google dont show everything right
@Khushi Bidhuri
But there is nowhere written we have 33 million gods. We have 3 major diety Brahma vishnu and mahesh and all others are part of them like Shri ram and shri krishna are avatar of vishnu etc. If you have noticed that we worship nature as a devta like surya dev agni dev etc. Yes you are right hinduism was not even religion before kalyuga. Actually if you go deep you will find that everything is very scientific for eg that 9 avataar of vishnu represents darwin theory of human evolution. Rishis were scientists and doctors of that time. They were very developed. Hinduism promotes moksha. There are many types. Like you can believe in god but you do not prefer idol worshipping then you are nirgun Brahman (here brahman does not refere any cast) . You dont believe in god then you can be atheist hindu. Many rishis in olden times were atheist. Actually there is freedom of opinions in Hinduism unlike other religions. But we definitely don't have 33 million gods. No one can name them. That is biggest misconceptions people use to defame our religion.

Welcome dear

Im native north bornean. There are no indians here. But i made some friends during medschool abroad. And fast forward few years, im back in my state, more Indians are posted here, some of them are friends of mine.
And when i speak to them, my chinese gf would not stop smiling. It turns out that my head wobbles too when I speak with Indians. Automatic wobble bro.
YES its contagious!!😁😅
We indians make everyone like us 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
Am I the only one who noticed that all Asian boss viewers so cool , kind, and nice people.

@@Surya-su7en yeah 😂

@@sakshipatial4069
I think he's referring to webseries as dramas😅
7:44 😂 "I have to be very formal AS F*CK" 😳 for a second there, I was caught off-guard AF. 😂
I was about to point it out 😂😂
😂😂
I was looking for this comment and I'm not disappointed 😂
😂😂 she said it like it was such a casual word to throw in when talking about being formal around your boss
She seems super cool
Indians are cool, honest, modest and positive about life in general. Love them.
When I was in India I got used to the "head bobble" pretty fast. For me, It was quite intuitive and not confusing at all. Love from Israel.
Shalom and love from India
Isreal is our greatest ally bro !! You are always welcome to our country.
They're also racist as hell
Even against their own dark skin indians
@@sonofgod2656 racism is problem is each and every country...
but Indians aren't harsh like many others.
@@sonofgod2656 Wow, not like hundreds of other countries are doing the same -_-
0:46 what do you think Indians do that is different from others?
Her: Namaste.......
0:50 bobbles head.
Wait a minute............
She did it unconsciously ...
It means..."that's it"..
Or
"That's it I know"
Metal gear theme intensifies.....
when a foodie girl is on a diet and there's a plate of cheesy fries on her mind..... *so relatable*
Italians talk with their hands, Filipinos use their lips to point and Indians bobble their heads. Language is diverse and interesting, and removing those gestures, completely makes a language different too.
My grandmother points lips front when she listening to something when she speaking on phone... & She is Indian...
we also use hands too.
Indians especially girls use lips and hands.....even girls in this video are doing the same.
Many Filipinos raise their eyebrows and smile to greet people, which really confused my husband. He was like "Is she trying to flirt with me or what?" But she was just greeting him.
@@musicbkim there's several degrees of familiarity in Filipino greetings:
1. Mano po or joyful greeting.
2. A simple hello "kamusta na?"
3. A nod or head jerk upwards.
4. Raised eyebrow and smile.
5. Raised eyebrow with eyeroll.
6. Sarcastic hello "kamusta na, tumaba ka ah!" -how are you? Did you gain weight?
I love their accent. I could seriously listen to them talk all day.
Love from India🇮🇳.
@benjamin ramsey You too bro. Stay indoor... Stay safe. 😊
Seriously? Indian accent? Our accent!! I can't eve listen to myself for 10 minutes
Go to the Kitboga RUclips channel then hahaha
@@Mendeiner LOL
Bruh Im Indian and didn’t even know it had a name 🤣🙈. This is ingrained in our genetics man.
@TheGodEmperorofMankind it's a joke
@TheGodEmperorofMankind joke. Heard of it?
I was talking to an Indian guy from Fiji once (they are 38% of the population there), and he said that Indians from Fiji don't do the bobble head.
But does it have a name, in Hindi or Bengali or whatever? Did I miss it? Also, is the bobble used across the subcontinent? And by people of different classes? So many questions.
Poo in the loo
Did the black kurta guy jump right out of a Manyavar commercial 🥵🔥
Guys, Brazilian people do this A LOT! And it's basically the same gesture to the same meanings!! I didn't recognize the side shaking but every other. I'm amazed!!!
Cmon bro Brazillian don't do this Indian bobble
@@korruptnovellst4751 where I live we do
Simmm eu to passada, pensei que fosse universal

This is great! In Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 if you ask a question and someone raises their eyebrows in reply it means "yes". This always frustrated the teachers 😅😂
We do that for (what?) or telling directions ,even sometimes for asking how r u (Like when u r in class or something 😂(
Well we do that also too lol . My American teacher was very frustrated with me lol 😂
In India it would mean "what?! "
You guys are on another level than us 😂😂😂
We indian raise our eyebrows in fascination 😂... astonished by something miraculous
Believe me, this head bobbling is very helpful in exam ,when you don't know the answer and your friend head bobbling pass you the answers 😁
so do you predecide before entering class room
Sometimes 😁
Lol especially when the questions are of MCQ type ...I do that in every class test lol
@@shadowchaser1828 we also have codes like
A - forehead
B - nose
C - lips
D - chin
True true
Why made such a cute video???
I wasted an hour reading the comments
U r right🤣🤣🤣
Me too😂😂
My sister had an indian boyfriend for a few years and started doing it too, that was funny :D
Where you from?
I'm pretty sure that if I dated an Indian girl that does it, I would start doing too lol
I once stayed for 1 week at a different region of my country, and I came home with a hint of their accent and my friends made fun of me. I tend to absorb my surroundings lol
@@lgkjapo Like everyone is trying to remove this habit . Yes it looks unprofessional , but its a different culture , I cant imagine not moving my neck while talking . I know it irritates many people but that's what we have been doing from childhood . Its a part of our life .
I have an indian gf for 2 weeks, and i started to dance behind the coconut tree already
@Notre Aira😂😂 maybe he started dancing in a lehanga choli sitting on the floor and going "maar dalaa". Or started spreading his hands out and absorbing in the surroundings in a pose that combines both Christ the redeemer and leaning tower of Pisa *cough* Shahrukh Khan *cough*
