Auto Driver's Kind Gesture Wins Tourist's Heart, Wholesome Moment Goes Viral
A video of a wholesome interaction between a foreign woman and an auto rickshaw driver in Delhi is going viral on social media. In the clip, shared on Instagram, the woman Tara Ingram asks the auto driver for change after a ride. But in a kind gesture, the driver refuses to take fare money. Instead, he instantly replies in Hindi, "Koi baat nahi, jaaiye aap (It's okay, go ahead.)". Then, in a bid to reassure her, he switches to English and tells her, "Don't worry".
Surprised by his gesture, the woman then confirms, "Are you sure?" Just then, a passerby who overheared the conversation steps in and says, "Yes, ma'am". Ms Ingram then requests the man to translate her message to the auto driver, saying that she was profoundly touched by the driver's kindness and honesty. She also says she wants to do something generous in return and insists on giving him Rs 2,000.
"That's very, very kind of him. I wanna do something nice for him. I'm gonna give him something for his kindness," she says. As the man translates her words, the auto driver appears humbled. "May your family be blessed," the woman says. To which, the driver tells her that he has four children.
