Have a look at the meaning and dialogue lyrics of the viral Pooja, what is this behaviour meme
The viral phrase “Pooja, what is this behavior?”—once uttered by Shonali Nagrani during a fiery exchange with Pooja Misra on Bigg Boss 5 seems to have resurfaced in an entirely unexpected context. That moment, which originally followed Pooja kicking a dustbin during a heated argument, went on to become one of Indian television’s most iconic meme-worthy lines, dominating social media through countless reels, gifs, and reaction videos.

On 14th October, 2011, episode 13 of Bigg Boss Season 5 aired on Colours TV in India and the episode featured an increasingly erratic Pooja Misrra entering a confrontation with contestant Shonali Nagrani. After Pooja kicks over a trashcan, she and Shonali begin to argue with video of the incident going viral and turning into a meme over the years.
*Shonali: “Pooja, what is this behaviour?”
*Pooja: “I kicked it by mistake.”
*Shonali: “You can’t kick it by mistake”
*Pooja: “Then pick it up if it bothers you.”
*Shonali: “No, you’ll pick it up”
*Pooja: “You don’t tell me what to do.”
*Shonali: “Or what, are you gonna hit me?”
*Pooja: “You’re asking for it! You’re dying for it! Get off. My back.”
Now, that legendary clip has found a new life in the K-pop universe, as members of the girl group X:IN brought it back into the spotlight. Nova and Aria, two of the group’s performers, recreated the scene in a short reel shared on social media. Their rendition was widely praised for its accuracy and energy, drawing instant attention from Indian viewers and K-pop fans alike.
In the video, Nova took on the role of Pooja Misra, seen mopping the floor before suddenly kicking a dustbin with full force—reminiscent of the original incident inside the Bigg Boss house. Aria, reacting with mock shock, delivered the iconic line with near-perfect timing: “Pooja, what is this behavior?” The recreation mirrored the original scene almost frame by frame, prompting a wave of nostalgia among Indian audiences.
