Modern-day Aladdin soars in Gurugram on a ‘Magic Carpet’ adventure

We are always fascinated by Aladdin and his magic carpet. Most of us, as children, dreamed of riding that amazing carpet and having a Genie grant our desires. Did we hear you were having nostalgia? You are not alone, though. Gurugram-based multimedia creator Kevin Koul enjoys playing practical jokes and dressing up as Alladin. He is frequently seen cruising the streets on his “magic carpet,” waving to onlookers. Some people adore Mr. Koul’s demeanor, while others are curious about how the carpet is being moved.

In a Reddit video, Mr. Koul can be seen skating across the streets while dressed like the beloved Disney figure. In addition, he picks up ice cream from a store and welcomes others. On Reddit, the clip—which was first posted in January 2022—has reappeared.

Mr. Koul stated in an interview, “I promise to prank Delhiites for sure, but I am still working out the practicalities. It will come as a surprise to many.

I even used to play video games with this character as the theme, which gave me the desire to travel on the magic carpet in the future. I reasoned that I should fulfill my boyhood dream when I began creating reels.
