Not for charity: Uttar Pradesh influencer starts crowdfunding for iPhone 17

An Indian female influencer, known as “Beauty Queen of Lakhimpur” started crowdfunding, requesting her followers to contribute a small amount so that she can buy the latest iPhone 17 Pro Max.  

Mahi Singh, who hails from Lakhimpur, Uttar Pradesh’ and calls herself the “Beauty Queen of Lakhimpur,” recently posted a clip of her requesting Rs 1 or Rs 2 from her followers.

She launched this crowdfunding not for a social cause but to afford the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max, which retails at around Rs.1.49 lakh in India.

In a video, Singh asked her followers to contribute as little as Rs.1 or Rs.2, explaining that her father refused to buy her the latest Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max since he had already gifted her an iPhone 16 just three months ago.

“The 17 Pro has just been launched and I really like its colour. I want it for my birthday on Oct 21, but my father is not buying it for me,” she said.

She requested her followers to make small contribution to help fulfil her birthday wish.

The influencer urged her followers to chip in small amounts to help her fulfil her wish. “If you all help with one, two, three, or four rupees each, then I can buy this phone and I will thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Singh added, describing the device as her “dream phone.”

The iPhone 17 Pro Max, which retails at around Rs.1.49 lakh in India, has been the subject of widespread fascination since its launch.
