A viral video has sparked a wave of amusement and curiosity across social media, as it throws light on the Sanskrit term for "pizza." The video features Yash Salunke casually enjoying a pizza at his house, when someone off-camera asks him about the name of the dish in Sanskrit. Without taking a second, Yash confidently replies, "Pistajam."
The video opened by showing Yash sitting on his bed with a box of pizza. He was seen eating a slice of the delicacy when a woman asked him, curiously, "Aho, Yashah, kim khadasi? (Wow, Yash, what are you eating?)". "Pistajam", he replied with a gentle smile.
While the video quickly caught the attention of netizens, it's unclear whether "pistajam" is an actual term in the ancient language or just a fun and humorous invention for the sake of the video. Nonetheless, the clip has been widely shared among food lovers, language enthusiasts, and those finding the intersection of modern culture and ancient languages interesting.

The video has gone viral within minutes of being uploaded on Instagram. Netizens reacted to the reel with 'laughter' and 'yummy' emojis. Some even thanked Salunke for creating this impressive and foodie content.
Yash posted the video earlier on Friday and was captioned, "Pizza in Samskrtam". With 30 minutes of surfacing online, the clip gathered 18,000 views and 500+ likes. The informative and amusing clip has gone viral.
