Content creator Joyee, a teacher by profession, shared a video of her heartwarming gesture towards an auto driver on her social media account. Every day, this auto driver helps Joyee with her commute home from school. She had been observing the auto driver’s worn-out plastic water bottle and had been thinking of gifting him a brand-new insulated bottle instead for a long time.
On Labour Day, May 1st, Joyee finally gifted the auto driver a new water bottle. In her post, she captioned the video, “Choti Choti khushiyan hi to jeene ka sahara hai” (Small joys are the support of life). The post received over 1 million views and many reactions in just four days.
The auto driver’s reaction in the video melted the hearts of social media users. He was gushing with joy and gratitude upon receiving the unexpected gift, smiling ear to ear. Comments lauding Joyee for her kind gesture poured in on the post. Some users highlighted that the auto driver would probably give the water bottle to his kids, as parents often do.
However, some users also criticized Joyee for filming the moment and using it for publicity. They argued that the act should have been done from the heart, not for attention on social media. Despite these criticisms, Joyee’s gesture was widely appreciated and brought a smile to many faces.
