Kriti, who calls herself a Digital Nomad, shared a video trying to get a bus ticket without a husband or male companion. In the footage, she said that it is difficult obtaining a ticket without a husband or male companion. However, she said that the officials at the bus station who assisted her in securing the necessary travel documents were well behaved.

She added that the bus, the common mode of transport in Afghanistan, took over 18 hours to reach its destination. There were multiple Taliban check points but she spent the journey asleep.

The video has sparked reactions from online users. Some expressed curiosity about her presence in Afghanistan, questioning whether she was a native or had ancestral property there.
