Indian origin comedian Zarna Garg trapped inside Hermes bathroom: ‘Useless bag, useless door’

Indian origin comedian Zarna Garg trapped inside Hermes bathroom: ‘Useless bag, useless door’

Indian-American comedian Zarna Garg shared a harrowing tale of being trapped inside a Hermès bathroom in Berlin for over an hour. The incident, captured in a video posted to Instagram, showed store staff struggling to open the sliding bathroom door. Garg's daughter filmed the struggle from outside while Garg recorded herself from inside.

At one point, she had been stuck for over 20 minutes due to the door's resistance. Despite the comical nature of her situation, Garg joked about counting paper towels and even made origami with them while staff worked to unlock the door. The situation escalated when the fire department arrived to assist, but even they found the door too stubborn to break open.

Garg described her ordeal as a "Shakespearean tragedy" after she was finally freed, expressing her frustration at the lack of apologies or explanations from store staff. She ended the post with a sarcastic remark about the luxury brand's products, joking that it was ironic for the company that makes an "impossible to open and close" bag also to have an "impossible to open and close" bathroom door.

The video garnered over a million views, sparking a mix of reactions from viewers who criticized the store's handling of the situation and praised Garg and her family for their composure.
