Kindness on Road: Auto Driver Refuses Fare, Tourist Rewards Him with Rs 2,000—Heartfelt Video Goes Viral
In a world where small acts of kindness often go unnoticed, a touching exchange between a Delhi auto-rickshaw driver and a foreign tourist has captured hearts online. The wholesome video, now viral on Instagram with over 2 million views, showcases a moment of unexpected generosity that turned into a beautiful gesture of gratitude.
The video features Tara Ingram, a tourist visiting India, who had just completed a ride in an auto-rickshaw. As she reached for cash, she politely told the driver, “I need to get change.” Without hesitation and with a warm smile, the driver replied, “Koi baat nahi. Jaiyye aap (No problem. Please go),” signaling that she didn’t need to pay at all.
Surprised by the gesture, Tara asked again, “Are you sure?” to which the driver simply responded, “Don’t worry.” At that moment, another passerby, who had overheard the conversation, stepped in to help translate. Tara asked him to express her thanks and conveyed a heartfelt message: “Please thank him on my behalf. Tell him I want to give him Rs 2,000. Tell him I want to do something nice for him.”
The translator relayed her message, and the driver’s face lit up with joy. Tara then handed over the money as a token of appreciation for his kindness. Overwhelmed, the driver thanked her sincerely, creating a beautiful and memorable moment that touched many online.
The video’s comments section has become a celebration of kindness from both individuals. One commenter emphasized the emotional impact of the moment, saying it “won millions of hearts and blessings.”
Another viewer shared, “You won’t know this but you would have possibly paid off this entire day’s earnings! It wouldn’t have made a financial difference to you but it would have made a lot of difference for him! Keep up the positive vibes.”
Others praised the woman’s selflessness, with one person writing, “Just a reminder of how incredible you are. Your kindness and generosity bring happiness to those around you, and you make the world a better place with your actions. I feel lucky to have you as my best friend—keep spreading your light!”
