Redditor shares strange ride with Rapido driver who wanted to become Hanuman Ji
A Reddit user has opened up about a strange experience with a Rapido driver who aspired to embody ‘Hanuman ji’ while preparing for the NEET exam, now working as an auto driver.
In the post named “My Rapido driver expressed his desire to be Hanuman Ji (????),” a Redditor recounted an incident that occurred around 3-4 PM when they required a fast ride back home from a friend’s place.
“My Rapido driver told me he wanted to be Hanuman Ji (????),” the Redditor explained how the incident took place around 3-4 PM when the user needed a quick ride home from a friend’s house. Upon booking the ride, the driver called to inform them that he was wearing a Swiggy uniform, to which the user replied, “aap ajao” (come on),” says his post.
As the journey continued, the driver struck up a conversation, starting with inquiries about the user’s studies. He proposed that she might want to try modeling. The user, uninterested in modeling, just chuckled and politely declined.

He reflected on his time as the top student preparing for the NEET exam. However, he stated that a pivotal moment occurred during a yoga session when he sensed the presence of Hanuman Ji, a highly respected figure in Hindu mythology.
This experience convinced him that he was meant to become a godlike being, committing himself to the mission of helping others overcome illness. Regrettably, he shared his sorrow over how his aspiration to mirror Hanuman Ji brought about personal challenges, ultimately leading him to a career in driving.
The narrative might seem fantastical to some, yet it struck a chord with other Reddit users who recounted comparable experiences. One commenter remarked, “One guy told me about his whole family life, and I just kept listening because I feel ‘most people are lonely nowadays’ and they don’t have anybody to talk to.” “Omg, I have a dozen cab driver stories like this. We actually once had a driver for office who believed that there was a man living INSIDE the engine who makes the engine run,” said another user.
