The man was identified as 22-year-old Abhishek Yadav, who runs a paan shop in Kanpur. His shop near HAL Colony in the Ramadevi area witnesses a rush of people throughout the day.
Most of them, he said, pay with Rs 10 coins. Instead of getting those coins exchanged for notes, Abhishek started saving them with a goal in mind.
The report states that Abhishek had married a year ago, and since then he had been thinking of gifting something special to his wife. So, he started saving up in order to buy her a gold chain.
Recently, when his wife went back to her parents' place, Abhishek thought that was the perfect opportunity to realize this plan of his.
On Saturday, November 1, Abhishek reached jeweler Mahesh Verma’s shop carrying two sacks. Verma, who also heads a local traders’ association, said at first he couldn’t understand what was happening.
’I was shocked initially when he (Abhishek) put the bag on the counter and said that it had coins worth more than Rs 1 lakh.’’ Mahesh said, as quoted by Deccan Herald. Counting revealed that Abhishek had brought 5290 Rs 20 coins, which amount to Rs 1.05 lakh.
The chain Abhishek wanted was worth Rs 1.25 lakh, but the jeweler had told him he could get the rest of the amount in installments. Counting and bundling the coins took more than two hours for the two of them before Verma accepted the payment and confirmed the order.
"The chain will be ready in a few days," he said. Abhishek said he had never imagined being able to buy a gold chain, especially with gold prices rising so high.
“I’ll present it to her when she returns from her parents’ house,” he added.

The story went viral on social media, with many users sharing it and labeling Abhishek a symbol of devotion.

Another added, "Har kisi ko aisa husband mile (Everyone deserves a husband like him)," while another person said, "Pyar karne wala kuch bhi kar sakta hai (A person in love can do anything)."
Meanwhile, one person joked, “Maine pati ko ye reel dikhai, wo bol rahe hai ye AI hai (I showed this reel to my husband, and he said it must be AI).”e AI-generated).
