Anupam Kher’s hilarious take on confusing public restroom signs, says "simple kyu nahi hoskata yeh sab?"

The confusing symbols used for male and female restrooms in public places are a very modern-day problem that veteran actor Anupam Kher recently brought to light with a humorous video.

Anupam Kher posted a humorous video to his Instagram account, expressing his amusement at the increasingly abstract signage outside restrooms in studios, restaurants, and dubbing theatres.

In the video, he candidly remarks, “There’s one thing that I don’t understand these days. To indicate toilets meant for men and women, they add such images or signs that will often confuse you for some time.” He then proceeds to show examples from a studio's restroom area, where the signs, rather than being clear and straightforward, require a moment of interpretation.

The Vijay 69 actor asks, with his characteristic wit, why these symbols have grown so complicated when the older, simpler indicators functioned perfectly. Fans responded favourably to the post right away, with many commenting that they had encountered similar bewilderment in other public places.

In order to make the post humorous and broadly relatable, Anupam Kher captioned the video and asked his followers if they had encountered the same problem.
