In an interesting case, a Mumbai auto-rickshaw driver has turned his vehicle into a moving karaoke stage, pleasing passengers with his singing. Below is a viral video of him passionately singing the classic Bollywood song ‘Phir Wahi Raat Hai’ from the 1979 film ‘Ghar’ as he drives through the city. His marvellous voice and unique setup both entertained and amazed many viewers on social media.
The video, shared on Instagram by Manoj Baadkar, went viral within hours and garnered more than seven lakh views. The clip was shot in Mumbai’s Juhu area on a Saturday night at around 11 pm. It is unique for this auto-rickshaw because of the bold, chauvinistic signage inside that declares that it is a “Karaoke Autorickshaw.” The sign says, “Please like, comment, and share” and even mentions “Google Search,” revealing how the driver has been smart enough to promote his talent.

I would love to ride just to listen to him sing!”
Some people loved the driver’s energy, with one saying, “This man has found a way to make his daily work something special. Respect! undefined.” This guy’s creativity and energy have really touched so many people’s hearts. “This reminds me of my childhood when we used to listen to old Bollywood songs on long drives. Such nostalgia!” said one viewer.
